From 1st December to 6th January customers can trade-in old mobile phone devices and allocate a portion of the credit to purchase a new mobile phone for an older person through ALONE
Vodafone Ireland has announced its Christmas charity initiative, the ALONE Gift of Connection Appeal, as part of its partnership with ALONE, an organisation that supports older people in Ireland.
This initiative aims to ensure older members of our communities, in particular, can easily keep in touch with friends and family, emergency response, retailers and more over the coming months.
Vodafone Ireland is encouraging customers trading-in old mobile phone devices, to donate part of the value of the trade-in to the ALONE Gift of Connection Appeal. For every donation made by a customer, Vodafone Ireland Foundation will match this amount. For example, if a customer donates €20 from their device trade-in credit to the ALONE Gift of Connection Appeal, Vodafone Ireland Foundation will also contribute €20, meaning €40 in total will be donated. Funds raised by the initiative will go towards purchasing Nokia 1.3 smartphones for ALONE which will be distributed to older members of our communities around Ireland.
