Donate while you shop
Buy or sell for the NSPCC on eBay
Whether you are hunting for a bargain, or looking to clear out your clutter, eBay is a great place to start and thanks to eBay for Charity, you can now raise money for the NSPCC at the same time.
As an eBay seller, you can choose to donate between 10 and 100 per cent of the final sale price to us to support our work with the UKs most vulnerable children.
If you’re an avid eBay shopper, check out what people are currently selling for the NSPCC and ChildLine.

Amazon Alexa – you can make single donations using your Amazon Alexa. Open your Alexa app and enable the NSPCC skill. Be sure to set your skill permissions to allow Amazon Pay so you can donate. Then just say "Alexa, open NSPCC" on your Alexa app or Echo devices and make your donation. We recommend setting up a voice pin for added security.
Donate by giving shares to the NSPCC
When you donate shares, everyone benefits. Not only will the money you donate help us support children that need us, but it’s also the most tax-efficient ways you can give money, allowing you to claim Income and Capital Gains Tax relief.
If you are a higher rate taxpayer making gift of £10,000 worth of shares, you will receive income tax relief of 40 per cent of the full value, (i.e. £4,000). To donate your shares, you need to:
- give the shares to a registered charity
- claim the tax relief on your tax return
- have paid the amount of tax deducted by the end of the tax year in which the gift is given, (in other words, the gift cannot give rise to a tax credit).

The easiest way to donate your shares is by using the charity ShareGift, a charitable organisation specialising in accepting small numbers of shares with low values.
