To transfer shares held in a CSN to charity (ShareGift), you will need to complete the ShareGift CSN Form.

ShareGift is a charity (No. 1052686) that helps turn small shareholdings into money for good causes. It does this by combining small holdings that would cost more to sell than they are worth. The proceeds from these combined sales are donated to a wide range of UK-registered charities, based on donor suggestions. For more details, please visit www.sharegift.org.

Please note the combined sale proceeds are donated to more than one charity. If there is a UK charity or cause you support you can provide details on the form. ShareGift uses this information, subject to due diligence, when choosing the charities it supports.
