Everyone benefits from payroll giving – it’s an easy, tax efficient way to support us and if you give this way you will receive immediate tax relief on your donations. It must be paid through PAYE from your wages or pension.

Regular giving in this way helps us to plan ahead and develop our services so we can support life-saving projects where and when they’re needed.

For Employees

Your employer needs to set up and run the scheme. The amount of tax relief you get depends on the rate of tax you pay.

For Employers

Contact a Payroll Giving Agency to set up a scheme – we work with two agencies:

StC Payroll Giving Ltd and

Payroll Giving in Action Ltd


Make deductions each time you run payroll: the donation will be taken from your employees’ pay before tax but after National Insurance.

Send the donations to your agency – they’ll pass them on to the chosen charities.

Ask your agency any questions you or your employees have about the scheme.

Costs of running a scheme

Agencies may charge an administration fee. They usually deduct this from employees’ donations before they pass them to the charity. You can choose to pay the fee, meaning the charities will get more money.
