Telecomms company Vodafone is urging its employees to raise £1 million for UK charities
over the summer using JustTextGiving, the mobile giving service it has developed
and funded in partnership with JustGiving.

It is asking each employee to raise £100. They can choose any charity they like.
The company will then match the funds raised up to £1 million.

Employees choose a Vodafone Individual Code (VIC), and then persuade their friends,
family and colleagues to use the code to text up to £10 to the good cause. Git Aid
and a message can be added if their their phone is internet-enabled.
