Are you amongst the thousands of people across the UK own a handful of shares which you are not sure what to do with. They might have been left to you by a relative or given to you following a company privatisation or take over. Why not put yours to good use by donating them to The Whitechapel Mission?

What will you do with my shares?

Large holdings of shares will be sold through our stockbrokers. Donations of smaller holdings of shares will be forwarded to ShareGift, a charity share donation scheme which specialises in accepting donations of shares (especially small holdings which would be uneconomic to sell). Without their support valuable donations would remain locked up in unwanted shares and would not reach charities. ShareGift distributes income from the sale of these shares to a wide range of registered charities including The Whitechapel Mission.

What do I need to do?

Please print the shares donation form, fill it in and send it to us with the share certificate(s) that you want to donate to:

The Honorary Treasurer

The Whitechapel Mission

212, Whitechapel Road

London

We will contact you to confirm how we will be processing your donation and what, if anything, else you need to do.
