Payroll Giving offers the following benefits

To employees
  • Reduces the amount of money you pay because the donation is deducted from your gross pay, allowing tax relief to be included in the donation. The table below shows how this works
  • Delivers flexibility so you can set up or alter your donation very easily
  • Enables you to support more than one charity at a time

To companies

  • Enhances your Corporate Responsibility programme
  • Boosts employee morale, helping to build good relations with your staff and aiding staff recruitment, retention and motivation
  • Demonstrates your commitment to working in partnership with the community and that you are encouraging and supporting your staff to do the same
  • Increases the opportunities to enhance your reputation in the public arena
  • Enables you to deduct any administration costs you incur by running a Payroll Giving scheme from company profits for tax purposes

For us as the charity

  • Gives us a regular, reliable income stream to help support our Tree For All campaign
  • Enables us to receive this money with minimum administrative costs
  • Provides an opportunity for us to care for long term donors
