What 70450 is for

Charities publish a keyword for 70450 - for example WISH5 for a £5 donation to Make-A-Wish UK, or STGILES for £5 to St Giles Hospice.

As on 70085, you can usually set the amount by adding a number after the keyword, up to £20 per text.

Whether donating opts you into marketing depends on the campaign, not on the code. Donr offers charities a campaign type that collects marketing consent alongside the donation and one that does not, so read the wording on the appeal - some charities also publish a 'no info' variant of the keyword.

What it costs

The donation you choose, plus one standard-rate message. Charged as the donation amount plus one text at your standard network rate. Donr's fee to the charity is 5% of the donation.

Text 70450 — how it works

  1. Get the keyword from the charity's own site.
  2. Text the keyword, plus an amount if you want to change it, to 70450.
  3. Follow the Gift Aid link in the reply text - it adds 25% at no cost to you.

Is 70450 safe, and is it spoofed?

Treat any unsolicited text asking you to donate as suspicious, however moving the appeal. Go to the charity's website yourself and use the keyword published there.

If a text or call is trying to rush you, threaten you, or get a password, one-time code or payment out of you, it is a scam whatever number it shows. Read our guide to the UK number ranges scammers use and how to spot a smishing text, and forward anything suspicious free to 7726.

Where this came from

We do not guess short codes. Every entry in this directory was checked against the organisation that runs the code, or against gov.uk or the regulator:

Checked against these sources on 13 August 2026. Short codes and their charges do change — if the operator’s page now says something different, believe the operator.

Checking an ordinary number instead

Short codes are not in Ofcom’s numbering data — only full UK numbers are. If it is a normal 01, 02, 03, 07, 08 or 09 number you want to identify, put it into the phone number checker and you will get its type, its area and the provider Ofcom allocated the range to.
