Support our seas through Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving: The most tax efficient way to donate to charity.
Information for Employees
Donate to us hassle free via your salary.
Payroll Giving is a simple way for you to give to charity from your gross salary. The donation is taken before tax, meaning your money goes further in providing vital funds for your favourite charity. For every £1 you donate, you’ll only pay 80p (or 60p, if you’re a higher rate tax payer).
It’s really easy to change or stop your donations at any time – just notify your HR department and they’ll do the rest.

Payroll Giving really is a simple way for employers and employees to support their favourite charity.

A low cost and easy way to boost your company's Corporate Responsibility Programme.
Register your interest with Hands on Payroll giving and they’ll be in touch to set everything up.
- Donations are taken directly from your employees' gross pay, so every pound they give will only cost them 80p (or 60p, if they're a higher rate tax payer).
- There's little to no cost to you. Some PGAs may take a small percentage of each donation (usually up to 5%), some don't charge at all, and some charge a fee per employee signed up. You can choose to cover this fee yourselves.
- When you run your payroll, the donation acts as a deduction. The donation is taken from your employees' pay, before tax but after National Insurance. Send the donations to your PGA and they'll make the transfer to the chosen charities.
- To encourage staff to sign up, you could offer to match donations, or donate a specified amount per sign up. Matched donations make you eligible for tax relief.
When we're all feeling the pinch, having something come out of your salary before you see it, and before tax, means you give a donation that will actually go further and is a lifeline for charities like the Marine Conservation Society.
