DONATIONS TO SUPPORT NAPS CAN NOW BE MADE FREE BY TEXT

JustTextGiving is a new service that helps charities raise more money. Donations can be made with a simple text message and it's free for charities to set up and run and free to anyone makingdonation this way.

JustGiving is working in partnership with Vodafone to provide this service.

When someone makes a donation to NAPS, NAPS receives 100% of the donation and this can be maximised further by the addition of Gift Aid ( an extra 25% ). Donations can be £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 with a maximum of £30 in any one month.

Texting is free on all mobile phone networks, it won't come out of any inclusive texts which are part of any price plan and donations can be made from outside the UK if the donor's contract is with a UK mobile operator although extra costs may apply.

As NAPS relies heavily on income from subscriptions and individual donations, we hope very much that this convenient and spontaneous way of giving will encourage more people to support our work. We are the only advocacy group in the world working on behalf of PMS sufferers and it is vitalthat the unique support we provide for those who need it continues.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS

NAPS has a VIC, a Vodafone Individual Code. Ours is NAPS28

When making a donation send a text to 70070, include NAPS28 and an amount e.g. £5

You will then receive a text with a link to a Gift Aid form. If you are a UK tax payer NAPS benefits from a 25% boost to your donation.

 

WHY WE HOPE YOU WILL DONATE

A  response from a sufferer we have been able to help included the following:

 

‘To know that there is such expert advice out there is invaluable, as I have felt very frustrated by the lack of knowledge of GPs on PMS, though I know they try their best, I realise that this is not a priority in their training and most know little about it in my experience.

It is a relief to know that there is someone out there who can really answer my questions'

 Your donations will help NAPS continue to assist such sufferers in managing their PMS successfully. If you have read this on the NAPS site you probably have PMS yourself or are close to someone who does and you will already realise how important it is for PMS sufferers to be able to access the specialist information, advice and support we provide. So text 70070 using NAPS28 to make sure that our vital work goes on.
