Guide Dogs, Director of Fundraising and Marketing Jayne George said: "Our Guide Dogs supporters are committed and loyal and are always looking for new ways to support us, so it feels fantastic to be able to offer them an additional or alternative way to support the work we are doing without putting any additional strain on their financial commitments."

She also saw it as a way to develop mobile relationships with the charity's supporters.

Donate Mobile also encourages its users to donate old handsets for recycling, with proceeds also going to Guide Dogs.

Donate Mobile's Managing Director, Mark Brunwin said: "Donate Mobile is fast becoming the mobile service provider of choice for charities of all sizes, and we are delighted to be working to help boost the committed giving revenues for Guide Dogs, who are one the largest in the UK. Guide Dogs have been quick to recognise the potential that a Donate Mobile partnership offers to open up an untapped revenue stream and a future channel through which they can develop relationships with their large and active supporter base.”

Donate Mobile is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) similar to Tesco Mobile or Virgin Mobile and it uses an established UK mobile network with 98% coverage.
