As it’s a rather different way to donate to a good cause, we often find ourselves wondering what it is that may have prompted people to donate their car to a particular charity. Over the last year we’ve reached out to some of the lovely people that have chosen to use Charity Car and asked about their car donations. We’ve had some interesting and moving responses and wanted to share their stories with you…
“I am really pleased to have raised some money for Alder Hey by donating my old car. My son had a short stay with them when he was a baby and it’s nice to give something back. The process of donating the car was super easy and was done quickly from applying! I am glad that I found this service and would certainly recommend.”
“Alder Hey Children’s Charity are so grateful to Laura for using Charity Car to donate the proceeds from her sale to our charity and would like to send a massive thank you for all her support. By choosing to support Alder Hey Children’s Charity when using CharityCar, proceeds will allow us to invest in magical experiences, groundbreaking equipment, and world-leading innovation that make such a difference for patients and families at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital.” Alder Hey Children’s Charity
Laura’s story is a simple one but one the Charity Car hear the most – where people are delighted to be able to give something significant back to a cause that is close to their heart. After first-hand experience of their important work, Laura chose to donate the proceeds from her VW Golf to Alder Hey Children’s Charity, which raises vital funds to help make Alder Hey Children’s Hospital a truly world-class, patient-friendly hospital, for the 450,000 patients and families it cares for every year.
A car donation to Alder Hey Children’s Charity helps to enhance and improve the lives of its amazing young patients, including the development of better, safer medicines and treatments, which will benefit children across the world.

If you’ve donated an old car to charity and that car, or the person that drove it, had an interesting story, or maybe it’s just a charity that’s close to your heart for a special reason, we’d love to hear from you.
It would be great if you are happy to share your story with this community of people, but we’d like to hear from you either way – your stories are what drives the Charity Car team.
