Turn your shares into life savings

We all benefit

Donations of shares are a valuable source of income for the RNLI as we can turn them into funds to support our lifesaving work.

The good news is that when you donate shares to the RNLI you may be entitled to relief on Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax.  This may be important to you if you have already reached your annual tax limit.  For further information contact your financial adviser or tax office.

It’s a simple process

There are two ways to donate shares depending on the value of shares involved.

You can transfer shares worth more than £100 directly to the RNLI to sell through our stockbrokers.  Simply download and complete this transfer form and send it to us with your share certificate.

If your shares are worth less than £100, it might not be cost effective for the RNLI to sell them ourselves so we work with a specialist organisation, Sharegift, to handle small holdings on our behalf.  Contact Sharegift for more information.
