Community Action Northumberland

COMMUNITY ACTION NORTHUMBERLAND IS ONE OF THE FIRST TO USE NEW, FREE TEXT MESSAGE SERVICE TO RAISE FUNDS

Community Action Northumberland (CAN) is amongst the first charities in the country to use its own, unique personalised text code, CANN01, to raise funds using JustTextGiving by Vodafone.

This is a brand new, free service for charities that has no set up or fundraising costs for charities, no network charges for people making donations and every penny donated goes to charity.  Gift Aid can also be added to donations.

From 1 June, supporters of Community Action Northumberland can make donations of up to £10 by texting CANN01 and either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 to 70070 to make their donation. The text message is free and all of the donation will be passed to Community Action Northumberland.

David Francis of CAN said: “This is a wonderful way for us to raise money as it’s speedy, simple and spontaneous.  Most people have a mobile phone these days so we trust this may be very attractive to our supporters.”
