Read what some of our charities say about Giveacar

“ This is a simple and effective way of attracting a new source of donations as well as reducing the amount of unwanted or unused cars lying around! Since promoting Giveacar to our supporters 4 months ago, we have already raised an impressive £2000! This is all thanks to our wonderful supporters and the success of Giveacar. Thanks to these donations, we can continue to help the lives of disabled people who are living in the poorest parts of the world. This is a great scheme and I would happily recommend to other charities ... Well done Giveacar! ”

“ Giveacar is a simple idea, which helps to provide amazing support not just to us here at the RSPCA but to numerous other charities, last year Giveacar raised over £10,000 for us which is an extraordinary amount. Every car that is given to this scheme helps to change the lives of numerous animals for the better in countless different ways. There are very few ways in which such large amounts of money can be raised in such a small time, and this project enables our supporters another way in which to help the RSPCA. We would like to thank Giveacar for all they have done and look forward to continuing our relationship into the future. ”

“ Since promoting Giveacar to our supporters we have raised over £3,000 for St Richard’s Hospice. It is a great way of securing extra revenue for the hospice and is an easy and efficient process for the donor. St Richard’s publicises the scheme and Giveacar do the rest…. all we have to do is thank the generous supporter and bank the money. We would recommend Giveacar to any charity looking for alternative ways of raising extra funds. ”

“ Action Medical Research has raised over £1,200 in the last year with Giveacar. It's such a simple idea and even our staff have got involved. Our Communications Manager, Claudine Powell, recycled her car for Action and recommends others do the same. "I searched for a reliable scrap car dealer online. When I found somewhere that sent the profits to charity, I thought that was great. Giveacar’s service was excellent. I filled in my details online and received a phone call an hour later. A local scrap dealer arrived bang on time the next morning and took the car away with no hassle. It made my life easier and raised £100 for Action. I would encourage anyone who has a car to get rid of to think about using this service. You can raise money for a good cause as well as helping the environment.” ”

“ Our Wildlife Trust has been working with Giveacar for about a year now, and has raised over £1,500 through the scheme, helping us to protect, enhance and conserve the precious wildlife in our three counties. We encourage our members and supporters to recycle as much as possible, for example ink cartridges and mobile phones, however to be able to offer car recycling as another option is very novel and unusual! The Giveacar staff are always very helpful and friendly, and we have found the whole process very straightforward. What a fantastic idea, and what a fantastic scheme! Thank you to everyone at Giveacar, and to everyone who has donated a car to our cause so far. ”

“ We have been working with Giveacar for the last month and have found it to be a fantastic service. Over the past month we have raised in excess of £1700 and it offers another fantastic source of income under our recycling initiatives. Whenever I drive past abandoned cars I really get annoyed as potentially that is £100 wasted which could have provided 2 hours of specialist care. ”

“ Tom and his team have taken a simple idea and made it work for wider benefit. The good deeds done with the donations from Giveacar must be awesome. It still amazes us that people choose Old Pit Ponies to benefit. We know nothing of the process. We just trust in Tom & his Team that it’s all done “Proper”. We just get an e-mail from Tom with good news in it. It’s the easiest fundraising we do by far. Just a few words in our Newsletters and to our contacts in the Press. ”

“ Here at Youth for Christ we have been astounded at the extent of the fundraising success we have seen through Giveacar - providing this option to our supporters as a way to bless our ministry has been seized upon much more than we ever anticipated. We wholly recommend Giveacar.co.uk, to both our own supporters and also to other charities. ”

“ Giveacar is a really simple and unique way for our supporters to donate towards our work. What’s more, people are discovering Toybox through the Giveacar scheme itself! We really enjoy offering this really innovative and environmentally friendly way to fundraise. The scheme was easy to join and the Giveacar team have been really efficient in processing donations. ”

“ Giveacar is such a simple but effective way to donate to charity and we are thrilled to be one of the beneficiaries.The scheme is not only a great recycling initiative, it also means we can help more children with profound disabilities around the UK. ”

“ We have been working with Giveacar for 12 months and it has been a very rewarding partnership for St Mary’s Hospice. As well as being a great recycling initiative, Giveacar has raised £500 so far for our charity. We have to raise £2 million per annum to provide all our services and without supportive schemes like the Giveacar initiative we wouldn’t be able to provide comprehensive supportive and palliative care for adults in South Cumbria. This easy to use scheme has proven to be highly beneficial to St Mary’s and the many people in the community we support. We are very grateful for the fantastic support provided by Tom and the team. We would highly recommend Giveacar to other charities looking for innovative fundraising ideas. ”

“ We have received a number of donations already through Giveacar and have been very impressed with how well the scheme works. The money that we have received is hugely helpful especially in this tough economic climate. It has afforded us the opportunity to buy additional art equipment for our art group, something that builds self esteem in our service users and helps them change their lives. ”

“ The Royal Hospital for Neuro-Disability in Putney, West London, has been linked with the Giveacar scheme for just a matter of weeks, and yet already the donations are starting to come in. I think the scheme is a fantastic idea and I can only applaud Tom for the effort he is putting into it purely to help charities like us who so desperately need support and funding. Working with Tom is a pleasure and I would thoroughly recommend www.giveacar.co.uk to anyone. ”

“ Giveacar is a fantastic and innovative new way to raise money for charity. Since joining the site in June Railway Children has received 15 donations generating over £2,000 in funds to support vulnerable children living alone and at risk on our streets. Feedback from supporters who have used the site has been fantastic; most were very pleased to be able to donate their car in a ‘hassle-free’ way rather than having to go through the process of selling it or contacting scrap dealers. ”
