How payroll giving works

If you're an employee

Setting up Payroll Giving is easy.

  1. All you need to do is complete this form.
  2. Afterwards, every time you're paid, your payroll department will deduct the agreed amount from your salary – you don’t need to do anything else.

If you're an employer

Setting up Payroll Giving for your employees is straightforward - simply contact us at [email protected] and we'll walk you through the next steps.

Benefits of payroll giving

When you donate through your salary, your donation is deducted from your gross pay before tax.

This means that if you’re a basic rate tax payer, a monthly donation of £10 will only cost you £8 – the taxman makes up the remaining £2. If you’re a higher rate tax payer, you’ll pay £6, and if you pay the highest rate of income tax, you’ll only pay £5.50

This makes Payroll Giving one of the most tax-effective ways of giving to charity.

How your donation could help

A child wearing a red checked shirt sitting at a dining table with a plate of food, facing a blurred image of an adult in a red jumper with white polka dots. The scene captures a moment of interaction, possibly during a meal or conversation.
  • £5 a month could pay for a child's healthy breakfast for a week.
  • £10 a month could pay for books and toys to help a child learn.
  • £25 a month could contribute to gas to warm a family's home.

Living here at Action for Children has definitely changed me. It has made me grow as a person. I used to feel alone. Now I feel included. I feel safe.
