NEW - JustTextGiving

Wakefield District CABx will be amongst the first charities in the country to use its own, unique personalised text code, YPAL07, 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 today, you can make donations of up to £10 by texting YPAL07 and either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 10 to 70070 to make a donation. The text message is free and all of the donation will be passed to us.
