Imagine making a difference to local people and families every time you get paid. With Payroll Giving, you can support Farleigh Hospice through small, regular donations taken directly from your salary – helping us provide compassionate care and support across mid Essex.
It’s simple to set up, tax-efficient and a wonderful way to make a lasting difference without having to think about making a separate donation each month.
What is Payroll Giving?
Payroll Giving, also known as Give As You Earn, is an easy way to support a charity directly from your salary.
You choose how much you’d like to give, and your employer arranges for the donation to be taken from your pay before Income Tax is deducted. This means you receive tax relief straight away, making your donation more affordable.
Even a small amount each payday can add up to make a big difference to people who need our care and support.
How does Payroll Giving work?
Getting started is straightforward:
- Check with your employer: Ask your HR or payroll team whether they offer a Payroll Giving scheme.
- Choose your donation: Decide how much you’d like to give from your salary and nominate Farleigh Hospice as your chosen charity.
- Your donation is deducted: Your employer takes your donation from your pay before Income Tax is calculated.
- We receive your donation: An approved Payroll Giving agency passes your donation on to Farleigh Hospice.
Your regular gift helps us plan ahead and continue providing vital care and support to local people and their families.
Your donation goes further with tax relief
One of the benefits of Payroll Giving is that your donation is made before Income Tax is deducted, meaning it costs you less to give.
For example, if you’re a basic rate taxpayer, a £10 donation costs you just £8. If you’re a higher rate taxpayer, it costs you just £6.
Why give to Farleigh Hospice?
Every year, Farleigh Hospice supports people living with life-limiting illnesses, as well as their families and those who are bereaved, across mid Essex.
We provide specialist care and support in our Inpatient Unit, in people’s own homes and within our community.
Your Payroll Giving donation could help us:
- Provide specialist care and support for patients at home.
- Offer comfort and expert care within our Inpatient Unit.
- Provide emotional and wellbeing support for patients and their families.
- Support adults, children and young people experiencing bereavement.
By choosing to give regularly, you’re helping us plan for the future and ensure that local people can access the care they need, when they need it most.
Every donation, whatever its size, helps us be there when it matters most.
