Help us to be there for more people across Teesside this Christmas, donating is as easy as sending a text message.
This year has been tough for everyone, due to restrictions imposed by the current global pandemic we haven't been able to fundraise in our normal ways. We're happy to announce the launch of our new 'text to donate' system. This allows us to fundraise to keep our branch running while following government guidelines on social distancing.
Did you know; all of our listeners are trained and provide this service as unpaid volunteers. We do however need income for the upkeep and safety of our premises to ensure our team can provide this essential service.
If you would like to make a donation, it’s easy to do by just sending a text message...
Text SIT to 70085 to donate £1 to Teesside Samaritans.
Texts cost £1 + one standard rate message. You’ll receive a thank you text and an opportunity to say yes to Gift Aid so the government will add 25% more. If you want to give a bit more just add a number after 'SIT' for example;
Text SIT3 to 70085 will be a £3 donation
Text SIT5 to 70085 will be a £5 donation
Text SIT10 to 70085 will be a £10 donation
The word 'SIT' stands for 'Samaritans in Teesside' and this means we keep 100% of donations received. Your donation helps us continue to be there for anyone who might be struggling to cope in Teesside over Christmas.
Thank you from the whole team at Teesside Samaritans for your kind donation, we really appreciate your support.
