Donations	Donations

We are a charity, run and staffed by volunteers — we do not have any paid staff. We rely on sales at our display rooms at Spennymoor and donations to keep our work going, e.g. this web site. Please help us to continue to provide the information on this web site and the display rooms by making a donation, however small, via one of the methods below.

Make a Donation via text message (UK only)

If you would like to donate, the easiest way is by using your mobile phone. To make a donation to the Durham Mining Museum with JustTextGiving simply send a text message to 70070 including our code — DMMD01 (dee emm emm dee zero one) — and a monetary amount up to £10. For example: to donate £3:—

To:	70070
Text:	DMMD01 £3

You can donate £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10.

After you’ve sent the text, you’ll receive a confirmation text back containing details on how to add Gift Aid, meaning we could benefit from an extra 25%.

Your mobile operator will pass 100% of the text donation on to JustTextGiving.

The minimum text donation is £1 and all donations must be in whole pounds sterling. The maximum text donation allowed is £10 for all mobile operators.

Donations sent via text will usually incur your standard text message fee. Please refer to your tariff for details of your standard text message fee.

Your donation will be deducted from your mobile phone credit, or added to your monthly phone bill.

This service is free via JustGiving, and anyone on any UK mobile network can use it to donate. For information on this service please click here.

Gift Aid

Please consider adding Gift Aid as this enables us to receive an additional 25p for every pound given. Charities can claim Gift Aid tax relief of 25p on every pound you give.

N.B. To qualify for Gift Aid, you must pay an amount of UK Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax at least equal to the tax that the charity reclaims on your donations in the appropriate tax year (currently 25p for each £1 given). Tax year is 6 April one year to 5 April the next.
