Payroll giving is a simple way for employees to donate to a UK registered charity of their choice from their earnings. Their donation is deducted from their gross pay, affording them tax relief on their donations.

For employers, Payroll Giving can improve their corporate social responsibility, which in turn will improve their public image. It can also aid in the retention of staff. All employers need to do is set up a contract with a Payroll Giving Agency who will transfer the donations to the charity on the employers behalf. It’s that easy!

Cumbria Wildlife Trust requires donations to maintain the 40 nature reserves around Cumbria, which include ancient woodlands, flower-rich meadows, extensive dune systems, limestone pavements and outstanding wetland habitats. Through Payroll Giving, the Trust will be able to gain regular and reliable donations to plan for the future.

Helen Duxbury, Development Manager at Cumbria Wildlife Trust says:
“This is a great scheme that costs the employee less to give more. We are extremely grateful to anyone that gives to us in this way as it is simple and dependable”
