Orange is the key brand of the France Telecom Group, one of the world's leading telecommunications operators. With almost 131 million customers, the Orange brand now covers Internet, television and mobile services in the majority of countries where the Group operates.

Orange today, March 31st 2011, announces the launch of the UK’s first mobile volunteering initiative, which harnesses the power of mobile technology to transform the way people give time to good causes. The ‘Do Some Good’ app allows convenient, bite-size volunteering through a mobile phone, enabling users to do a good deed at a time and place that suits their lifestyle – all in less than five minutes.

Orange has created these different charity actions* in collaboration with the 12 charities to give them reach into potentially millions of people’s pockets. For example, people can upload a photo of a charity run for the photofoundation to upload to their social image bank, or complete a five question survey to help the Samaritans gain a better understanding of the nation’s wellbeing.
