Payroll Giving

Donating via Payroll Giving provides the hospital with a continuous flow of income, which is boosted by the taxman, not taxed. Giving on a regular basis helps us to plan our work and ensure it is spent where it is needed most.

Take a look at the table below to see how your donation would grow, at no cost to yourself, by this donation method, thanks to the tax rebate.

How much should I give?

This is your personal decision. You can give as much or as little as you like.

How do I join the scheme?

Just complete and return the application form and we will do the rest!

How can I find out if my employer offers Payroll Giving?

Ask your payroll department and if they do not offer the scheme, suggest they start one - it is easy and inexpensive to run. For further information, they can contact us on 020 7323 4450. If your employer does offer the scheme, remember to ask if they will match your donation.

Do I have to commit for a long time?

No. If your circumstances change and you no longer want to donate this way, inform your payroll department that you want the payments to cease.

Will I get unwanted mail asking for more money?

We will write to you to thank you for your donation and we will also send you our charity newsletter, Lifeline. The information you provide is protected under the Data Protection Act and can be used only for the purpose that it was given.
