The John Merricks Sailing Trust (JMST) is a registered charity which supports youth sailing in the UK.
The JMST will be amongst the first charities in the UK to use its own, unique personalised text code, JMST01, to raise funds using JustTextGiving by Vodafone.
This is a brand new, free service for charities, that has no set up or fundraising costs for charities, no network charges for people making donations and every penny donated goes to charity. Gift Aid can also be added to donations.
From today, supporters of JMST can make donations of up to £10 by texting JMST01 and either £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 to 70070 to make their donation. The text message is free and all of the donation will be passed to the JMST.
Ian Walker, Volvo Ocean Race and Americas Cup skipper, Double Olympic Silver Medallist and JMST Trustee said: 'This is a wonderful way for us to raise money as it’s speedy, simple and spontaneous. Most people have a mobile phone these days so we expect this to be very popular with our supporters.'
Text JMST01 £10 to 70070 to donate to The John Merricks Sailing Trust and make a difference today.
