For each text message sent, you will either be charged £3, £4, £5, £10, £20, £30 or £40 plus your standard network message charge (based on your service provider rates) via the reply confirmation text message; the charge will show on your bill and the sender will show as a five-digit number or the charity name. Please note where you have donated £20, £30 or £40 you may receive more than one message depending on your network operator. This is normal and a consequence of your network operator’s billing processes. This will show on your bill as either multiple charges of £10 or one charge of £20, £30 or £40 (as applicable).

3. No VAT will be charged on your donation.

Who can donate?

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

5. Please note that you can donate using this SMS service from a UK mobile only. You cannot donate using this service from a Channel Islands, Isle of Man or other non-UK mobile.

6. 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.

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

Limits

8. There is a daily limit (12.00 am to 11:59 pm) of £40 on text donations to each short code for the same donation amount from the same mobile number, up to a monthly limit of £240 per month per mobile number.

For example, in one day you can donate up to:

•    eight times using the keywords FIVE and or SPRINT5;

•    four times using the keywords TEN and or SPRINT 10;

•    two times using keyword TWENTY;  

•    once using keyword THIRTY; and

•    once using keyword FORTY.

Further text donations will not be accepted if you exceed this daily limit (so you will not be donating these additional amounts to Stand Up To Cancer), but you may still incur your standard network message charge. If you would like to contribute more to the Stand Up To Cancer campaign you can donate online HERE.

Please note that donations in connection with any ‘Text to Win’ Stand Up To Cancer Prize Draws are calculated separately for the purposes of the daily limit but would still count towards the monthly limit. 

You may be able to set your own mobile bill limits directly with your mobile provider. For information on mobile bill limits generally, see Ofcom guidance HERE or check with your provider.

Incorrect keywords and shortcodes

9. If you enter the keyword incorrectly, your donation to the Stand Up To Cancer campaign may not be successful. In these circumstances you will receive either (a) an error message, in which case you will not make a donation, but you may still be charged your standard network message charge, or (b) 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.

10. 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 the Stand Up To Cancer campaign but you may still be charged your standard network message charge.

Gift Aid

11. If you are a UK taxpayer, your donation may be eligible for Gift Aid. This means we can claim an additional 25p in Gift Aid from the Government for every £1 you donate. We may contact you by text on the mobile number you used to give you the opportunity to add Gift Aid to your donation. If you are sent a link to a page where you can submit your details then, as with any mobile browsing, you may incur charges from your network provider. If you are asked to text those details, then a standard network message charge (based on your service provider rates) will be incurred. You can access the Gift Aid form HERE.

How to contact us – queries, refunds

12. If you would like to discuss your mobile payment, including refunds, please contact us on 0300 123 1861 (Monday to Friday from 8am - 6pm). Call charges apply. 

13. Please note that we are only able to refund a donation in certain limited circumstances which are specified by charity law.

We will also need your bank details to be able to reimburse you (where applicable).

If you already donate to us monthly via your mobile phone bill, then thank you for your ongoing support. These are the terms that apply.

1. General

  • You must obtain permission from the bill payer and must be 16 years or over to give monthly via your mobile phone bill.
  • The standard network charge for text messages is at your network provider's rates.
  • Please note that you can donate from a UK mobile only. You cannot donate using this service from a Channel Islands, Isle of Man or other non-UK mobile. If you donate using this service from a UK mobile outside England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you may incur additional network charges from your network provider.

2. How monthly giving works 

  • You will have started your regular monthly donation by providing us with your mobile number for these purposes or by sending a specified word to 70002 (to set up a monthly gift of £3) or 70088 (to set up a monthly gift of £5). You will then have received a message asking you to confirm your monthly donation by replying YES which activates your monthly gift. Your reply message will have incurred a standard rate message cost from your network provider.
  • Once you activated your monthly donation your first donation of £3 or £5 will have been taken immediately.
  • Each month, the day before your monthly donation is due, you will get a free text as a reminder.
  • This free text will also remind you that you can choose to skip a month by replying SKIP to that text message within 24 hours. If you're happy to give then you don't need to do anything, and you'll be charged as usual. However, if you choose to skip a month, we won't take the donation that month - you will just incur one standard network text message charge for sending your reply.
  • In each month that we take a donation, you will receive a free text receipt message.
  • Cancer Research UK receives 100% of each monthly donation in support of the Stand Up To Cancer campaign.
  • If you have any queries about giving monthly by text message or wish to make a complaint or request a refund, please email the Operations Team via mobilise@cancer.org.uk (monitored between 9 am and 5pm on weekdays, except Bank holidays).

If you want to stop giving your monthly donation then you can:

  • text STOP at any time to 70002 to cancel your £3 donation
  • text STOP at any time to 70088 to cancel your £5 donation

A STOP message will incur a standard rate message cost from your network provider.

  • We will remind you of the option to stop your donation each month in your receipt message.

    Alternatively, you can email mobilise@cancer.org.uk to inform us of your instruction.

4. How changing your monthly donation amount works

  • If you decide that you want to increase or decrease your monthly donation amount, you can do this by calling the Customer Care Line on 0203 282 7862. You can choose to give monthly donations of £3 or £5. 
  • You will then receive a message asking you to confirm your new monthly donation. You must reply YES to this message to activate your new monthly donation. Your reply message will incur a standard rate message cost from your network provider.
  • Your old monthly donation will be cancelled, and a new monthly donation will start. You will not pay for both.
  • You will receive our free text reminder and receipt messages for your new monthly donations as described in ‘How monthly giving works’ and can SKIP or STOP these monthly donations in the same way.
