With your help, we support a range of charitable projects supporting people across the UK.

You perhaps don’t connect training programmes, food redistribution, and supported living homes with the motor industry – but at Car.co.uk, these things are closely linked. As we grow, so does our commitment to creating social value – a unique way of doing business that sees us provide financial backing for charitable organisations ; each offering support to real people and communities around the country. When you use our helpful tools, part of the revenue you help us to generate will be donated to charity. Our primary partner charity – Recycling Lives Charity - is part of the UK’s largest food redistribution network, working with FareShare UK, – making sure no good food goes to waste.

It also runs training programmes for people currently in prison – helping them to move away from crime upon release and bringing reoffending rates down around the country as a result. Although the people who are directly supported by Recycling Lives Charity obviously see a life-changing benefit, the impact of their work spreads much further. It’s no secret that local authorities often simply do not have the resources to meet everyone’s need adequately – but Recycling Lives Charity helps to ease the financial strain that’s put on taxpayer-funded services .

To date, Recycling Lives Charity has created more than £40 million in savings for the criminal justice system, local authorities and small charities - a real difference that can be felt by every UK taxpayer.

Real people and real numbers

Last year, Recycling Lives Charity delivered over three million meals for a range of good causes – from breakfast clubs and community cafes to hospices and food banks. It also works in 10+ prisons across the UK, with 84% of participants going on to finding meaningful paid employment after release. And across one year, each individual who moved on from their residential programme completed 85 hours of work-based training to help them secure full-time employment . With your help, we’re proud to make a measurable difference to real peoples’ lives.
