You can make a gift to Abbeyfield by donating your shares. Doing so means that you're able to claim tax relief equal to the market value of the shares on the day you make your gift. The relief is against your income tax for the year. For example, a higher-rate taxpayer donating £1,000 of shares is entitled to £400 relief on their income tax for that year. The larger your donation, the larger the amount of tax relief you receive.
Donating your shares is also an extremely cost effective way of disposing of small amounts of shares where the cost of selling them matches or exceeds their value.
If you'd like to donate shares to Abbeyfield, please contact us on 01727 857536 and ask for the Fundraising Department or email fundraising@abbeyfield.com.
