ITV’s Text Santa returns this December and the hunt has begun for UK charities to benefit from the 2014 appeal.

Applications open today for two weeks. Find out about the eligibility criteria and how to apply.

The Text Santa 2013 charities Age UK, Barnardo’s, BeatBullying, British Heart Foundation, CLIC Sargent and Help the Hospices, shared almost £5 million and over six hours of airtime on ITV showcasing their hugely valuable work. This is a unique opportunity for your charity to be on national TV and for people to show they care about your cause.

Apply to be a Text Santa 2014 charity.
