Scrap cars can help good causes
Collisions in Preston contribute to a £323 million strain that road traffic accidents put on local authorities across Lancashire. When broken down, that’s a cost of around £219 for every Preston taxpayer each year. At Car.co.uk, we’ve proved that cars damaged and written-off in accidents like these can create jobs and opportunities for communities around the North West.
Whether your vehicle is damaged in an accident - or has simply reached the end of its life, we can use a portion of the profit it will generate to support life-changing social value programmes around the UK. If you’re planning to scrap your car in Preston today, using our straightforward price comparison service doesn’t just mean a great deal for you; it means you’re directly supporting some of the country’s most loved charities.
Our unique way of working will see your scrap vehicle turned into funding for social value projects
Although cars are our passion, it's actually social value initiatives and community charity work that's at the heart of what we do.
After helping you to find a great price from a scrap car yard or vehicle recycler in Preston, a portion of the funds that your car helps us to generate will mean we can provide financial backing for a number of important causes, including:
- HMP Academies: Helping to reduce reoffending rates
- Supported living services: Reducing dependency on social housing
- Food redistribution networks: Creating meals for those experiencing poverty
While these initiatives have a direct impact on the people who use them, the benefits are often felt much more widely. The charity projects we support have been proved to ease the huge demands put on taxpayer-funded services - including the police, local healthcare, the courts, offender management services – and many more.
Effective recycling of cars isn't just a positive thing for the environment – it can have a life-changing impact on real people in local communities.
