Donate a car“ Orangutan Appeal UK have been signed up to the Giveacar initiative for the last 4 months and already we have received over £700 in donations! Its an original and costeffective fundraising tool for small charities such as the Appeal- it does not involve a lot of paper intensive administration, and on top of that its a brilliant environmentally friendly scheme too! Whenever one of the team at Giveacar inform us of a donations its a great surprise, and a cheque promptly arrives by post a few days later. Well done everyone for organising such an efficient and friendly service! ”

Office Manager“ Ever since joining Give a Car in 2010 we have been amazed by, not only the frequency in which we receive donations, but also the amount that we receive. It continues to be a very effective way of fundraising and proves to be very popular with our supporters. It has also been a great way of raising awareness of Rheumatoid Arthritis and the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) , as many people who have donated their cars found out about us through the Give a Car website. Thank you to everyone at Give a Car and thank you to all those who have donated to us. ”

“ Nowzad Dogs is a small charity, with resources that are constantly stretched. We are mainly staffed by volunteers who run the charity alongside their full time jobs. Giveacar is a unique opportunity for fundraising in these difficult times with minimal input from ourselves, so maximising our efficiency. In the short time we have been partnered with Giveacar we have received over £1100. This money has been put to very good use such as the purchase of vaccines for the dogs & cats that arrive in our Afghanistan shelter, not to mention provide treatment for the often very ill dogs and cats we sadly all too frequently encounter. Thank you to the Giveacar team for this fantastic source of income and thank you to those who have donated to us. ”
Hélène
Trustee“ Giveacar and Marie Curie Cancer Care have been working together for over 6 months now and we’ve found this to be a very valuable relationship. The idea behind Giveacar is a fantastic one and is raising money for great charities across the UK. Every £20 raised for Marie Curie Cancer Care through Giveacar funds an hour of nursing care by Marie Curie Nurses for a terminally ill patient in their own home. We are delighted to be working together and look forward to growing this relationship in the future. ”
Edward Cole
Corporate Development Manager“ A big thank you to Giveacar for helping Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research beat blood cancers. Their innovative service has raised £5,500 towards our groundbreaking research into blood cancers, including leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma - every penny raised means more lives saved. ”
Kate White
Director of Fundraising“ I first got involved with Give a car when my father in law died and we needed to dispose of his car that had been sitting outside his house for many years. After losing his father my husband didn't need the aggravation of hiring a tow truck and taking the car off to the local scrap yard and that's when he found Give a car. They did everything, it was so easy and we got more than we were expecting for the car too. We donated the money to the charity I work for as a Trustee and that is the Kit Wilson Trust for Animal Welfare. We added KWT to the list of Give a car charities and since then we have received over £500 in donations and they have come from all over the country. This is such an easy way to boost funds and the Give a car team are very efficient at sending all the details through about the donation. Thank you Give a car!! ”

“ We have only recently joined Giveacar and already we have received valuable funds for our work. At this time it is especially hard for charities and so we are very grateful to Giveacar for this opportunity. Not only does it help us in our otter work but it is also a sound environmental way of getting rid of old cars. Thanks to everyone involved with Giveacar and those who have donated to the International Otter Survival Fund. ”

Head of Operations“ Infertility Network UK are delighted to be working with Giveacar. In the short time we have been involved it has provided us with over £800 of donations which is a huge benefit to our charity and will help us to continue providing valuable information, advice and support services for those faced with fertility problems and involuntary childlessness. I think this scheme is a great idea and applaud Giveacar for the work they are doing in helping charities like us. Well done Tom, we will continue to recommend www.giveacar.co.uk and hope to have a long and fruitful involvement with you. We and our beneficiaries are very grateful for the support and more importantly the much needed funding you have provided us with. ”
Sheena Young
Head of Business Development“ Giveacar is an environmentally sound practise that ties in with our green ethos. We ask every unwanted car owner who cares about cat welfare to think seriously about donating to us through the scheme. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone donated their unwanted car to help an unwanted cat? ”
Corinne Moore
Campaign Manager“ Working with Giveacar has been like a breath of fresh air for us. We get genuinely excited when a cheque from Giveacar arrives as it is unexpected and much needed income that we can put towards our worldwide conservation programmes, from saving turtles in Nicaragua to protecting the mountains of Tajikistan. Thanks to Giveacar, unwanted vehicles are either disposed of in an environmentally secure manner or auctioned off. If this prevents more cars from being produced, that benefits our whole planet. ”
Rob Harris
Fundraising Officer“ Deafness Research UK joined this fantastic scheme around a month ago and we have already received around £1000 to help fund our vital work. Giveacar has created huge fundraising potential for our charity and their professional and friendly team are always on hand to provide support when we need it. As a small charity, we do not have the capacity to manage these kinds of fundraising ideas so it came as welcome news that they would be handling it all for us at absolutely no cost. We are extremely thankful for Giveacar and we hope this is the start of a successful relationship to ensure that one day, all forms of hearing disability will be overcome. ”
Danny Whiteside
Individual Giving Fundraiser“ We initially contacted Giveacar as we thought it could be another source of income for our small charity, but our partnership with Giveacar has exceeded all expectations. Through the link on our website we have so far received over £1,300 to help us support the young people with special needs in our care. Thank you Giveacar for developing such a simple and yet effective way of bringing new life to so many people out of old cars. ”
Lorraine Nash
Events and Development“ What a refreshing and innovative way to fundraise! In just six months Children Today has received donations to the value of £2000 which will benefit children with disabilities living throughout the UK. It really is a ‘no brainer’ when it comes to disposing of unwanted motor vehicles and helping your favourite causes at the same time – long may Giveacar continue. ”
Ruth Thompson
Head of Fundraising“ Giveacar is an increasingly popular way of raising vital funds for CARA (Charity No.:1135610). We have found that working with Giveacar has given us the professional support and enthusiasm we needed to launch and develop our services. It offers CARA’s members and supporters exciting adventures. In the words of one of our members: 'I do not want this adventure with Giveacar to end’. ”

“ Giveacar is a fantastic, innovative way for people to donate to Cancer Research UK. We are hugely grateful to Giveacar for all the amazing donations we have received. With Giveacar’s help, we will be able to fund even more research and get closer to beating cancer. ”
Natalie Brownless
Area Volunteer Manager“ What a fantastic way to raise funds for charity so far we have raised over £2200, the team at give a car make it so easy for people to scrap and give the donation to a charity of your choice. Thanks to their support and your donations we have managed to transform many of children’s lives across the UK. ”
Simone Joyce
“ There is always great excitement when a donation arrives from Giveacar for the Baobab Centre for Young Survivors. As we are a small, young organisation each donation makes a big difference to the services that we can provide and in just a few months we have new funds that enable us to help young asylum seekers and refugees who are alone in the UK attend long-term specialised psychotherapy and gain a sense of belonging in exile. Giveacar is a brilliant, simple idea that works for everyone: the environment, the donors and the beneficiaries. Don’t hesitate to donate your car for scrappage through Giveacar, you will be making a real difference. Congratulations Tom! ”
Jill Pack
Volunteer“ I can honestly say that I am frequently dubious about charity schemes on the internet but I can truthfully report that Giveacar has hardly taken up any of my time, was very easy to set up and has raised a substantial amount of money for the Sanctuary. The organiser is a pleasure to work with and it also helps the environment. ”
Tamara Lloyd
“ Giveacar has been a hugely successful means of fundraising for ABC Trust since we joined the initiative at the beginning of the year. As a very small organisation, we often find ourselves too short of man-power to administer new and innovative fundraising ideas such as this and therefore it is wonderful to have such an efficient body taking care of the logistics for us and thus enabling us to raise both funds and awareness for our cause at absolutely no cost. Given the vast number of charitable organisations working within the UK nowadays, it is also very important that donors are given new and different ways to donate. With increasing fatigue towards sponsored runs and on-street charity fundraisers, it is essential for fundraising to start providing people with alternative ways to help and I believe this to be why Give A Car has been so successful for so many charitable organisations, including our own. ”
