Why Payroll Giving?

Payroll Giving is a donation to charity direct from your salary. You decide how much you want to give and your employer deducts this amount from your pay. Arthritis Care benefits by knowing when we are going to receive your donation so we can plan our activities with confidence and prepare for the future.

Not only is Payroll Giving a tax-efficient way for you to support us, it also helps us to keep our costs down. The low administration cost of Payroll Giving means that more of your donation will be used to help people with arthritis throughout the UK.

Are you an employee?

Payroll Giving is a simple tax-efficient way for you to give to your chosen charity. As an employee, you can support Arthritis Care with a regular donation direct from your monthly salary.

These donations are deducted by your employer before tax, so each £1 you give will only cost you 78p. If you are a higher rate tax payer it will only cost you 60p.

Are you an employer?

As an employer, you can help Arthritis Care by offering your employees the opportunity to support us through a Payroll Giving scheme.

Companies already offering Payroll Giving believe it improves company image, staff morale and supports employee volunteering. What’s more, if you employ fewer than 500 members of staff the Government offers cash incentives to set up a Payroll Giving scheme.

It should be possible to promote Arthritis Care within your existing Payroll Giving activities, or set up a new scheme.
