Donating to charities through your pay makes a real difference and is the most tax-efficient way to give.

Your Payroll Giving donation is taken from your pay after National Insurance but before tax. A donation of £5 a month would actually cost you £4 from your take-home pay (if you pay 20% tax) or £3 (if your pay 40% tax).

Charities big and small depend on the regular income that Payroll Giving provides as it allows them to plan their work including research, building projects, and giving practical help to those vulnerable and in need.

Over 1 million people donate to charities through their pay and together they've raised over £2 billion for good causes.

When a Charity receives donations through Payroll Giving schemes there is no need to apply for Gift Aid, saving them money and time.

As little as £1.50 a week can make a real change to someone's life. Any charity, good cause or place of worship can be supported. What cause would you like to support?
