request for old mobile phones for a Thyroid charity

Hello,

I'm after old mobile phones from anyone who can help - the phones can be in any condition, and it doesn't matter if they have a charger or battery etc. Over the next 4 months I am going to be working full time for free with someone to help her set up a charity for people with Thyroid problems.

See: Thyroid-Disease.org.uk - Home

Before we manage to get any real funding (which can take up to 6 months depending on applications) we're trying to get in enough money to redevelop the website. One way is to collect old mobile phones - we get £3 for every phone, and every time we collect 100 we we get an extra £100 for the charity. So, if you would like to contribute an old mobile stuck in the bottom of a drawer somewhere - PLEASE pm me and I'll give you my address to send it to. We've got a bit of a task on our hands - although ultimately it will be well worth it - so every bit of help you can give us will be massively appreciated.

Is it just phones or are chargers, batteries etc of use? What condition do the phones need to be in to be of use?

Hiya,

I'm checking out the answer to the battery, add on question. I'll post as soon as I've found out. Phones can be in any condition as far as I'm aware. I'll double check this too.

Ok - Phones can be in any condition. It doesn't matter if they come with batteries, chargers etc. We don't get any more money for batteries chargers - but they can also be recycled if you want to send them on. We get £3 per phone, and an extra £100 for every 100 phones collected. I'll keep you up to date with how we're doing - and thank you to everyone who's offered already.
