Other ways to give > Payroll giving

Why not give up just an hour a month? Donating an hour’s salary of £5.25 can help us keep a VSO volunteer working for a day in some of the poorest communities in the most disadvantaged countries – a day when you can help them save and change lives.

Payroll giving is a simple, effective and tax-efficient way to make regular donations to VSO – and it gives VSO more, at absolutely no extra cost to you. Payroll giving is simple and easy for you and your employer as all the administration is done by Inland Revenue-appointed agencies. Agency charities charge between 0-4% per donation to cover the cost of administration. Some employers pay this charge on behalf of their employees.

How does it work?

Donations made through the scheme are taken from your gross pay. This means that for every £1 you give, it will only cost you 78p (60p if you pay the higher tax rate). The taxman will pay the charity the difference! Therefore your donation effectively costs you less and we receive more.

How much further can your gift go with payroll giving?

If you wish to vary the amount of your donation, stop payments or change any aspect of you gift, simply inform your payroll department and they will amend your details and pass the information on to us.
