Launched in January 2010, Giveacar has raised over £24,320 for charity by scrapping cars for customers throughout the UK for free. The scheme has been well received by the scrap metal industry and charities have been overwhelmingly positive. Having experienced rapid growth, Giveacar is proud to have many happy customers.
The motivation for setting the brand new service for customers in the UK, stems from a belief that charities in this country are overlooking a fantastic opportunity to generate income. Giveacar have opened up a source of revenue that was previously untapped. This has given people an outlet to donate their cars, just as they might donate their clothes or furniture.
Giveacar supports more than 30 charities including Cancer Research UK, The Children’s Trust, and Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research. To see a full list please visit www.giveacar.co.uk/charity.htm
Giveacar.co.uk is the brainchild of Tom Chance, a twenty three year old university graduate and former part-time used car trader. He believes that car donation schemes require greater visibility in the UK. Said Mr Chance: “Every year in the USA, hundreds of thousands of cars are given away. In the UK, hardly anyone has heard of scrap car donation. I want to change this, and develop the concept so that it becomes commonplace. There are too many unused or underused cars on the road. We aim to put the value of these cars to good use.”
Giveacar organises the donation of cars through Cartakeback, a national operation of licensed car breakers and scrap car yards. Throughout the UK, Giveacar coordinate the collection of unwanted cars, roadworthy or not. When you call or email Giveacar, they will arrange a convenient time to send round a tow truck to collect the scrap vehicle. They will pick up any scrap car, at no cost to you, and either sell it through a salvage auction, or dispose of it through an authorised treatment facility.
All of the charities that are associated with Giveacar will receive an average of £80 from each car donated. Anyone who donates a car can chose to support any of these charities, or they can donate to another registered charity of their choice.
