Payroll Giving
Would you consider Payroll Giving? If you, your friends or your family are in paid employment, you can arrange with an employer to make regular donations from your pay direct to the charity.
How It Works
A donation amount will be deducted from your pay before Income Tax is calculated and deducted. For example, if you’re a 20% taxpayer, 80% of your donation amount will be taken from your salary and 20% will be taken from the tax that would otherwise have been paid to HMRC.
Benefits
- Your donation to Long Covid Support will go further and costs less.
- You can change your mind at any time. If you’d like to increase, reduce or stop your donation, you can do so whenever you want at no cost to you.
- Many employers will match their employees’ donation therefore doubling the amount paid to our charity.
What Should I Do?
If an employer has a Payroll Giving (or Give As You Earn) Scheme set up already, you can simply instruct them to make a donation to the Long Covid Support charity on your behalf.
If an employer doesn’t currently have a Payroll Giving scheme, you can speak to the HR department to enquire about setting one up. They can contact a Payroll Giving Agency who will be happy to set up and administer the scheme at no cost to the employer.
Here is a handy letter template and instruction form you can complete and pass onto the employer to provide them with all the necessary details.
