What is ShareGift?

ShareGift is an independent UK registered charity (No. 1052686) that specialises in releasing the money locked up in small shareholdings. It can accept donations of any size. To date, ShareGift has donated over £73 million to more than 4,000 charities.

How does it work?

ShareGift specialise in accepting small shareholdings that would cost more to sell than they are worth. It then donates the resulting proceeds to a wide range of charities. You can help support our work by donating any small shareholdings you may have to ShareGift and mentioning that you support the Headway Essex (Charity no: 1008807). ShareGift makes its grants based on research and suggestions from donors.

ShareGift makes no charge, either to you or to Headway Essex, for transferring shares. If you are a UK taxpayer, you can claim income tax relief on the value of most stocks and securities when you donate them to a charity. In addition, shares donated to charity are not liable for Capital Gains Tax, either in calculating a gain or a loss.

Sharegift work with donors and their representatives to make the transfer process as simple as they can.

They accept donations of shares and other securities providing they can transfer the securities in question. This includes equities, funds, gilts, bonds, ETFs, OEICs and covers UK and many overseas listed holdings, held both in nominees and in certificated form.

You can donate shares directly via ShareGift’s website – sharegift.org
