2021 has seen some record milestones for Giveacar. We hit a total of £4million raised for UK charities since the organisation began. And in October, we saw our largest ever month for donations with over £60,000 raised!
Over 1,700 vehicles were donated this year, and through your generosity it lead to a total of over £450,000 being donated to a whole host of different charities, from the large household names to small independent charities. That works out to over £1,000 donated per day this year.
Whether it’s the most frequently donated car, a Ford Focus, or something a bit more unusual, every donation matters and has helped charities when they need it more than ever. We’ve picked out some of the donations highlights for 2021. Take a look below at how your donations have helped charities this year.

We want to say thank you to everyone who donated a vehicle this year! Your generosity has helped the charities registered on our scheme through another tough year. We can’t wait to organise even more vehicle donations in 2022. Help support your favourite causes and donate a vehicle you no longer need or spread the word about the vehicle donations; be it a car, motorbike, van, caravan, or even something a little more unusual we would love to turn it into a donation for charity.
