Payroll Giving is a quick, cost-effective way to give, open to everyone who is paid Pay As You Earn (PAYE). Your chosen amount is deducted before tax, so your donation costs you less. Sign up now using this form.
How does it work?
- Your donation is taken from your pay before tax. This means if you pledge to donate £5 per month, it would actually cost you £4 on a basic tax rate or £3 on the higher rate
- You can opt for your donation to be monthly or yearly. It’s a hassle-free way to give, you won’t have to do anything after you set it up.
