Newsletter Feature
Giveacar adverts in newsletters have proven to be an effective way of bringing in donations. If you have a newsletter just a small advert can make a big difference. The RNLI receives regular donations via Giveacar because of its newsletter feature.
Be a feature charity
We run features that focus on one of our registered charities highlighting the work they do to our donors and aiming to increase the number of donations they receive. If you would like to be a featured charity, email Matthew@giveacar.co.uk who will be happy to discuss this further with you.
We are no longer accepting applications for 2021. Applications to be a feature charity will open on 1st June 2021.

Giveacar is a not-for-profit social enterprise that can turn your old car into cash for any UK charity. They arrange free collection, and then either sell your car at auction or scrap it with the proceeds (minus service fees) raised going to your chosen charity.
Launched in 2010, Giveacar was the first service of its kind in the UK and allows charities to tap into a new source of funds. Since their inception, they have won several awards and have seen great success with both charities and the general public. To date, they have raised over £3.5million for more than 1,600 charities. Using a nationwide network of breaker yards and salvage partners, Giveacar has coordinated the collection of over 35,000 vehicles so you can be sure they know how to get the best value from your donated car.
Donating your car happens in 3 easy steps:
Step 1 – Tell them about your unwanted vehicle. They’ll collect it for free.
Step 2 – Depending on its condition, your vehicle will be either auctioned or scrapped.
Step 3 – The proceeds are donated to your chosen charity and you’ll receive a receipt.
It’s as easy as that! If you need to get rid of an old car and would like to do some good at the same time, call Giveacar on 020 7736 4242 or find out more at https://giveacar.co.uk
