Payroll Giving
Pay less, give more
Make your payday count for terminally ill people in your community
Payroll giving is an easy, convenient, tax-free way to regularly donate to St Luke’s direct from your salary, helping to ensure local people with terminal illness get the high-quality, compassionate care they deserve at the end of their lives.
It’s the regular income we receive through payroll giving that helps us plan ahead so that we can be here for patients and their families in the months and years to come, which is getting harder as demand on our service continues to rise.
If you’re an employee...
Donating via payroll giving allows you to ‘pay less and give more’ to the causes you care about. That’s because these donations are deducted before tax, meaning each £1 you give from your salary will only cost you 80p, or – if you are a higher-rate tax payer – 60p.
Setting up payroll giving couldn’t be easier! Simply click here or call the fundraising team on 01752 492626 for more information.
If you’re an employer...
Payroll giving is a brilliant way to boost staff morale, engagement and retention all while showing great kindness for your community. What’s more, setting up the scheme for your organisation is really straightforward.
The first step is to contact an HMRC-approved payroll giving agency to set up the scheme for your workplace. (A list of approved agencies can be found here.
Once your payroll giving scheme is set up, invite your employees to sign up.
Each time your HR/ Accounts Department runs payroll, donations will be taken from your employees’ pay before tax but after National Insurance deductions. Donations are sent to your payroll giving agency who then pass them on to St Luke’s to help us continue providing our compassionate care.
