Hear what some of our charities have to say about Giveacar
“ We have been working with Giveacar for the last month and have found it to be 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. ”
Danielle Gravestock
Corporate Fundraiser“ Giveacar is a wonderful way to support Trinity Hospice and make a difference to people who are at an advanced stage of illness in our central and south west London community. With Giveacar’s help we are able to provide our expert services free of charge. Every car donated really does make a difference. After just a few months the donations from Giveacar paid for one week of our expert nursing care which we provide at our inpatient centre and in the community in peoples homes. Thank you. ”
Fran Ward
Senior Fundraising Manager“ Tom and his team have taken a simple idea and made it work for wider benefit. The good deeds done with the donations from Give a Car 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. ”
Roy Peckham
“ Give a car is an incredible and innovative idea. We are so pleased to be affiliated with it. In a world where cancer is affecting more and more people, we need wonderful ideas like this one to ensure that people who are living with cancer are getting all the care and support they need. Thank you give a car ”
Ali Jinnah
South West London Fundraising Manager“ 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. ”
Richard Moss
“ This is a great initiative which has made a HUGE difference to our fundraising potential as a small charity. Kudos to the Giveacar guys for their ingenuity and enthusiasm. You guys really are providing a superb service and making a difference at the same time. ”
Dan Woods
Treasurer“ Give A Car is a really simple and unique way for our supporters to donate towards our work. What’s more, people are discovering Toybox through the Give A Car scheme itself! We really enjoy offering this really innovative and environmentally friendly way to fundraise. The scheme was easy to join and the Give A Car team have been really efficient in processing donations. ”
Stephen Thorn
Director of Marketing and Fundraising“ Thanks very much for helping Thera Trust, a low profile charity, with donations to enable us help people with a learning disability to live fuller lives. We have received two donations, amounting to the best part of £1,000, in a very short time. It is a great service you offer, easy for the charity and for the donor. Everyone wins. ”
Sharon Shortland
Fundraising Manager“ 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. ”
Angie Turner
Corporate Relations Manager“ It has been fantastic to link up with Giveacar. It is proving to be a really valuable new source of funding for our day centre for homeless people. We have had really positive reports from the people who have donated cars about how easy it is to do and what a professional service it is. Giveacar are really efficient and get the donations to us very quickly. I hope more people take up the opportunity of getting unwanted cars off the streets and helping a charity such as ours at the same time. ”
Amanda Croome
“ 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. ”
Zoe Guest
Funding & Operations Manager“ St Catherine’s Hospice signed up to Giveacar in September 2010 and in just a few months we’ve received £1200.00 through this environmentally friendly initiative. This is a huge return on a new income stream for the hospice that has cost us nothing and very little time. Giveacar.co.uk was straight forward for us to set up and is really easy for our supporters to use; we’ve had some really good feedback from them. The fact that we can keep in touch with vehicle donors and thank them for their contribution to St Catherine’s in this way is invaluable. We’ve seen the number of charities who have signed up to Giveacar grow significantly and I’m not surprised, it works. ”
Matthew Cornish
Corporate New Business Fundraiser“ 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. ”
Sam Perry
“ The Give-a-car scheme has been a great success and we have now been donated at least 10 cars from kind supporters of SHADH. We look forward to a continued working relationship with Give-a-car. ”
Victoria
“ 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. ”
Anna Wall-Budden
Fundraising Executive“ Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People would like to say a big thank you to Giveacar for introducing such a fantastic scheme. This is such an innovative concept and an easy way for people to make a donation to the charity of their choice. It is so wonderful to know that this scheme is raising funds as well as being kind to the environment at the same time. We are very pleased to be working with Giveacar and Tom is always so efficient in passing over donations made to us. A very big thank you from all of the children and young people across the East Midlands who will benefit from the donations made, you are helping us to make a difference to their very short lives. ”
Kate Golding
Corporate Fundraiser“ 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. ”
Karen Brayne
Head of Fundraising“ Giveacar is a fantastic opportunity to become involved with an environmentally friendly project that delivers essential funds to charities throughout the UK. We have been working with Tom and his team for only a few weeks and already we have seen some amazing results. For us, each scrap car donated would feed a puppy for 6 weeks whereas a healthy car donated could do much, much more. I would urge you to get involved. Tom is a passionate man and he and his team have made it so easy to reap rewards. I have seen this project work brilliantly in the USA and our 'hats off' to Tom for making it work here too. ”
Eddie O'Donnell
Chairman“ 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! ”
Mandy Pickard BSc Hons
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. ”
Emma Hipkin
“ 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!! ”
Tracey Donkersley
“ 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. ”
Paul Yoxon
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. ”
