Donate your car to Shine

Giveacar, a social enterprise, has donated over £500,000 to charities across the UK since it was founded in January 2010.

The organisation arranges for end-of-life cars to be collected and taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), where they are dismantled according to strict environmental codes of practice.

The money raised from the car’s scrap metal is then donated to us. If the car is not yet ready to be scrapped it can be sent to a salvage auction, where the car can often raise even more for the chosen charity.

To donate your cars to Shine, contact Giveacar by telephone on 020 0011 1664 or visit www.giveacar.co.uk/Shine
