Donate your Shares
Turn your unused shares into support for Age UK Surrey.
Did you know you can support Age UK Surrey by donating shares?
Donating shares is a great alternative to traditional giving, especially if you have small shareholdings that are too small or complex to sell. By gifting your shares through ShareGift, you can help turn unused investments into meaningful support for Age UK Surrey, helping us to support vulnerable older people in Surrey – at no extra cost to you.
How does it work?
ShareGift specialise in accepting small shareholdings that would cost more to sell than they are worth, generating substantial funding for charities like us. They also accept larger donations of shares.
Generally, selling anything less than £100 worth of shares is a nuisance to shareholders, especially if they are held in certificated form. However, it does not cost anything to transfer the shares as a gift. This is why ShareGift has received hundreds of thousands of such donations over the years.
Simply mention ‘Age UK Surrey’ when you make your gift.
