Participants can also use mobile donation service JustTextGiving by Vodafone to 
aid their fundraising.

Clare Jones-Leake, Head of Giving Something Back, Vodafone UK said: “This will be
the first time for many, as they add text to their fundraising efforts and see the
benefits of quick, easy spur of the moment donations which are free to send with
100% of the donation being passed to their charity.”
