Why not just sell/scrap it yourself and give the money you make to a charity of your choice.

Cuts out the middle man.

they take 25% of the money for running costs... hmmm

that could be an extra 25% in the charitys pocket if you do it all yourself...

Agree with above posts - better to sell it yourself and make the donation yourself. This is on the assumption you get the best available price for the scrapping of the car.

Making the donation yourself may enable the charity to reclaim an extra 28% in gift aid which they wouldn't otherwise, further info on Gift Aid here:

My gripe with charities and fundraisers. By the time its gone through the system the actual amount used at the end source
is very little compared to the original donations.
