EE

EE has supported Unicef’s disaster and emergency relief work for over 10 years, a partnership that’s helped to raise more than £5.6 million for children through emergency appeals.

Our Text to Donate campaigns, coordinated by EE, enable EE customers to make donations to Unicef emergency appeals simply by replying to a text message sent out by the network. The donation is added to customer phone bills or taken off their airtime.

Such campaigns allow us to collect donations immediately, something which is vital during an emergency. This immediacy helps us to send out aid and provisions to affected areas as quickly as possible to support children in urgent need.

In 2015, EE raised more than £1million for children affected by the Nepal Earthquake, through customer donations, staff fundraising, as well as corporate support..
