Terms & Conditions

Who can donate?

You must be aged 16 or over to send a text donation.

Please note that you can donate using this SMS service from a UK mobile only.

If you donate using this service from a UK mobile when you are outside England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you may incur additional network charges levied and retained by your network operator.

You must obtain permission from the bill payer before sending a text message.

Limits

There is a daily limit (midnight to midnight) of £40 on text donations to each shortcode from the same mobile number and a maximum limit of £240 per month across all phone-paid services. Further text donations will not be accepted if you exceed this daily or monthly limit (so you will not be donating these additional amounts to St Basils), but you may still incur your standard network message charge. If you would like to contribute more to St Basils you can donate online via our donation page: Make a donation to St Basils

If you enter the keyword incorrectly, your donation to St Basils may not be successful. In these circumstances you will receive either an error message, in which case you will not make a donation, but you may still be charged your standard network message charge, or a confirmation message that your donation has been successful, in which case you will be charged the relevant donation amount plus your standard network message charge as set out above.

If you send your text message to an incorrect shortcode, or you otherwise fail to correctly follow the instructions in these terms and conditions, you will not make a donation to St Basils but you may still be charged your standard network message charge.
