ShareGift
ShareGift is an independent UK registered charity which exists to provide a solution to the longstanding problem of unwanted small shareholdings, where dealing costs prohibit the owner selling because the profit is either too small or the costs are higher than the value of the shares.
Even if a shareholder has only one or two shares ShareGift can help to dispose of them with proceeds going to a charitable cause.
Millions of pounds are tied up in wasted assets, which are of no value to their owners. ShareGift aggregates and sells these parcels of donated shares, giving the proceeds to a wide range of UK charities.
