The Payroll Giving scheme enables you to donate regularly from your pay/pension to charities of your choice. The donations are taken from your pay/pension before income tax is applied, making it a tax-effective way to give.
Step One
Decide how much you wish to pledge each payday. A £10.00 pledge would cost a standard rate taxpayer £8.00 and a higher rate taxpayer just £6.00.
Take a look at our table below to see how much your own pledge would cost based on your own tax rate.

Step Two
Contact your payroll team. Your employer may have a scheme with a Payroll Giving Agency.
Step Three
Once you have submitted your instruction, there’s nothing else to do!
Your first deduction is usually taken the month after you have submitted your Payroll Giving instruction, and is usually shown on your payslip as ‘Payroll Giving’.
**If your circumstances change and you want to cancel or change your donation at any time, simply tell your employer.**
**If you change your job, your donations will not be transferred to your new employer and need to ensure your new company is registered with a Payroll Giving Agency.**
