We check your details
We confirm your organisation is who it says it is. We can only pay you once your bank details are added and checked. Until then your money is safe and keeps adding up. You'll see the progress in your dashboard.
- Your partWhenever suits you
Share your page
Send your link to the people who already support you: members, volunteers, families, local businesses. Everything in your fundraising toolkit carries your name, logo and QR code.

- KindlyFrom the day they order
Supporters switch to Kindly
Your supporters choose a plan on your page, for themselves, their family or their business. They keep their number and pay the normal Kindly price. We send the SIMs, run the billing and answer their questions.
- Personal and business plans
- Their SIMs are linked to you automatically
- You never handle money, SIMs or support
- KindlyEvery month
£1 a month for every SIM
For every full month each supporter's SIM is paid and active, £1 is set aside for you. Watch supporters and money build up in your dashboard.
- KindlyEvery quarter
You get paid
We pay by the end of the month after each quarter ends: January to March by 30 April; April to June by 31 July; July to September by 31 October; October to December by 31 January. We may pay earlier in that month. The money goes into your organisation's own bank account, with a statement. It's unrestricted: spend it wherever your cause needs it.
Who does what
Your part is small. Ours is everything else.
Your part
Share, and keep supporters posted.
- Sign up and set up your page
- Share your link, posters and posts
- Post the odd update on what the money paid for (optional, but it helps)
- Add your bank details for payments
Kindly's part
Everything to do with mobiles and money.
- SIMs, delivery and number switching
- Billing, payments and VAT invoices for businesses
- Customer support for every supporter
- Tracking every SIM and every pound for you
- Quarterly payments and statements
Where the money comes from
It comes out of a bill they already pay.
Your supporters pay the normal Kindly price for their mobile, the same as every other customer. Kindly passes £1 of it to you every month. It isn't a donation from their pocket and it never costs you a penny, so it's an easy thing to ask for.
Work out what you could raiseThe small print, in plain English
What earns you £1, and what doesn't.
✓ Counts
- Personal SIMs ordered through your page, for supporters and their families.
- Business SIMs ordered through your page. A local firm with 10 phones is 10 SIMs.
- Every full month each SIM is paid and active, for as long as it stays.
✕ Doesn't count
- SIMs on our charity plans. Charities on those plans get £1 off their price instead.
- Part months, such as a supporter's first or last part-month.
- SIMs that have left Kindly. What's already been earned stays yours.

Ready to sign up?
What you'll need.
- 1Your organisation's details: name, address and your registration number if you have one (charity, company or CIC number).
- 2A contact who'll look after your page. We sign you in with a code sent by email, so there's no password to remember.
- 3Your logo and a photo of your work, for your page and posters.
- 4Your organisation's bank details, when you're ready to be paid. Payments only ever go to your organisation's own account.
How long does it take to get started?
Signing up takes a few minutes, and your page can be shared straight away. Your page and posters are quick to set up.
When do we get our first payment?
We pay by the end of the month after each quarter ends, once your organisation and bank checks are complete. A supporter's SIM counts for each full paid, active month. January to March by 30 April; April to June by 31 July; July to September by 31 October; October to December by 31 January. We may pay earlier in that month.
Do our supporters pay any more?
No. They pay the normal Kindly price, the same as everyone else. The £1 comes out of that price.
Can local businesses back us too?
Yes. A business can order its phones through your page, and every business SIM counts, the same as a personal one.
What if a supporter leaves Kindly?
Their £1 a month stops when their SIM stops. Everything already earned stays yours.
Does it cost us anything?
No. It's free to join, there are no fees and Kindly takes no cut of your £1s.
Ready when you are.
Sign up in minutes, share your page, and let the £1s build up every month.
