What is payroll giving?
Payroll giving enables employees to donate to any UK charity straight from their wages. Your donation will come to us automatically every month, straight from your pay packet, until you decide to cancel it. This means that once it is set up, you don’t have to worry about remembering to give again.
You will be doing your bit in supporting women and children experiencing domestic violence and abuse, without even having to think about it!
Payroll giving is the most tax efficient way that you can donate to Coventry Haven Women's Aid. The donation comes out before tax is deducted from your earnings. This means that if you chose to give us £10 from your pay packet, it will only actually cost you £8. If you pay a higher rate of income tax than the basic rate, this could be even more.
How can I get involved?
If you would like to support Coventry Haven Womens Aid by giving in this way, your payroll or HR department can tell you if your company already operates a payroll giving scheme. If it does, simply fill out a form with your chosen amount. You can support more than one charity and you can also choose to give anonymously if you prefer.
You can also download our Coventry Haven Women's Aid specific payroll giving form and hand it to your HR department.
Setting up a scheme
If your company doesn’t already have a scheme in place, it’s easy to set one up. All you need to do is sign up with a payroll giving agency who will administer the donations on your behalf. Ask your HR department to set one up today; click here for a list of Inland Revenue approved agencies.
