How Payroll Giving works

Each month, you will be donating before you pay any tax which makes your support go even further.

You don't need to give us your bank details or set up direct debits, it's as simple as filling out the online form. And, because your donation is taken before tax, every £1 you donate will only cost you 80p.

You can change or stop your donation at any time by contacting your payroll department.

    • When you leave a company, the payroll gift is automatically cancelled. Please complete this online Payroll Giving form with your new company information and let us know this is a replacement of any previous donations by selecting the relevant box.
