Terms and Conditions

  • As well as the relevant Donation Value, each text message will incur your standard network message charge (based on your service provider rates). This service can only be used from a UK mobile and does not include Channel Islands or Isle of Man mobile networks. If you donate using this service from a UK mobile abroad you may incur additional network charges.
  • The following mobile network operators have waived their charges in order to allow the full Donation Value of the reply confirmation text message (described below) to go entirely to support Comic Relief and 麻豆官网首页入口 Children in Need: 3, O2, EE, Sky, Virgin and Vodafone. In addition, HMRC has confirmed that no VAT should be charged on these donations.
  • You can send a text message between 10:00 on the date the Keyword and Short Code combination go 鈥楲ive鈥, as listed in the above table, and 23.59 on the Closing Date, as listed in the above table. Please ensure you spell the Keyword correctly and send your text message to the correct Short Code, however, if we, acting reasonably believe you are trying to donate, we will still take the donation even if you entered the Keyword incorrectly. Alternatively, we may instead send you a message to let you know that your donation has failed. The message we send to you in this instance is not a confirmation message so, whilst you will be charged your standard network message charge, you will not be charged the Donation Value and will not be donating to The Big Night In. You will not have been added to any marketing databases if we send you this follow up text unless you have expressly requested to be.
  • If your Keyword and Short Code are valid and your text message is received within the specified times and dates, you will be charged the applicable Donation Value via reply confirmation text message(s) and your donation will go to The Big Night In to be split between Comic Relief and 麻豆官网首页入口 Children in Need (with the exception of Vodafone customers and some EE customers, who will be charged the Donation Value directly via their bill). It may take some time for you to receive the confirmation text message. Please wait until you receive it. Unless a cap applies (see below) each valid text you send will result in a charge of the Donation Value plus your standard network message charge, regardless of when you receive your confirmation text message. Any repeat texts will result in repeat donations.
  • If you鈥檙e a UK taxpayer, we (Comic Relief and 麻豆官网首页入口 Children in Need) can claim an equal share of an additional 25p in Gift Aid from the Government for every 拢1 you donate. We鈥檒l send you a follow up text to ask if you want us to claim Gift Aid on your donation. If you follow the link in our follow up text you鈥檒l be taken to The Big Night In website to complete the Gift Aid declaration - please read it carefully. Find out more about Gift Aid . We won鈥檛 automatically add you to any marketing databases when we send you this follow up text.
  • If by mistake you text us with the word 鈥淕IFT鈥 or 鈥淕IFT AID鈥 rather than following the above process, we may send you a message to notify you of the error and redirecting you to the above process again. You will not automatically be added to any marketing databases if we send you this text.
  • If your Keyword or Short Code is invalid, or if your message is received outside the times and dates of the service, you may not receive a confirmation text message but may still be charged your standard network message charge. If no confirmation text message is received, you will not be charged the Donation Value as you will not be donating to The Big Night In. However, if you receive the confirmation text message then you may still be charged the Donation Value, in which case your donation will still be made to The Big Night In.
  • You can donate up to a maximum total donation of 拢40 using the same Keyword and Short Code each day from the same mobile telephone number (midnight to midnight). If you try to donate more than that in a day using the same Keyword and Short Code from the same mobile, you will still be charged your standard network rate, but will not be charged the Donation Value for a confirmation text message and will not be donating to The Big Night In. For the avoidance of doubt this maximum is placed on the text messages sent with the same Keyword to the same Short Code. Also note that pre-paid customers who are trying to donate 拢20 or 拢30 but have insufficient credit, may only be charged 拢10 or 拢20 (as applicable).
