Payroll Giving
Transform Lives Through Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is a simple and tax-efficient way to make your donations go further. Because your donation is taken from your salary before tax, giving £10 a month only costs:
- £8 for basic rate taxpayers
- £6 for higher rate taxpayers
- £5.50 for additional rate taxpayers
This makes Payroll Giving more tax-efficient than Gift Aid for higher-rate taxpayers! You can choose any amount to give – there’s no minimum or maximum. If your employer offers Payroll Giving, setup is easy through your HR team. If they don’t, we can help you encourage them to start a scheme.
How Your Donation Makes a Difference
- £5 - Helps buy sensory items for neurodivergent children
- £10 - Supports a disabled child's Short Break sessions
- £20 - Helps to fund a disabled child's first electric wheelchair
- £50 - Contributes towards a child's Autism Assessment
How to Set Up Payroll Giving
- Check with Your Employer – Ask if they offer Payroll Giving. If they do, they’ll arrange the donation through your salary.
- Choose Your Donation Amount – Decide how much you’d like to give each month. Your donation is taken before tax, meaning you give more at no extra cost.
- Your Donation Supports Caudwell Children – The funds come directly to us, helping to provide life-changing support for children and families.
What If My Employer Doesn’t Offer Payroll Giving?
If your employer hasn’t set up a Payroll Giving scheme, you can encourage them to start one by registering with an approved Payroll Giving agency – like us!
Need support? We’re here to guide you through the process and help get your workplace on board.
Changing jobs? Payroll Giving doesn’t transfer automatically to a new employer, so you’ll need to set it up again with your new company. We can assist you in making the switch seamless.
