Payroll Giving

What is Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is a simple, tax-efficient way to support East Cheshire Hospice directly through your salary. It allows you to make regular donations while benefiting from tax relief.

How it works:

You choose an amount to donate from your salary each month.
The donation is taken before tax, reducing the cost to you.
This means East Cheshire Hospice receives your full donation, and you pay less overall.

How to start your payroll giving

Step 1: Sign up with a Payroll Giving Agency (PGA)

Choose an HMRC-approved PGA from www.gov.uk/payroll-giving and complete their registration form. The PGA will validate your employees’ chosen charities and distribute the donations.
PGAs typically charge an admin fee (up to 4%), deducted from donations unless you opt to cover it, ensuring 100% of donations reach the charities.

Step 2: Promote your payroll giving scheme

Raise awareness among staff about payroll giving and its benefits for charities like East Cheshire Hospice.
Use emails, social media, intranet ads, flyers, posters, or host an event (in person or online).

Step 3: Get everyone on board

Engage senior management, HR, and payroll early to highlight the benefits of payroll giving for East Cheshire Hospice. Most payroll systems can support it with minimal setup—your payroll team simply processes deductions and sends donations to the payroll giving agency.

Step 4: Sign up time

All your employees need to do now is sign up. Simply ask them to download the form below, fill it out, and then send these to your payroll department.

Step 5: The giving begins

Now you’re set up for payroll giving and your employees have signed up to the scheme, East Cheshire Hospice will start to receive your donations. Your participating employees’ payslips will display their donation alongside any other deductions they have signed up to.
