Make a Difference Every Payday with Payroll Giving

Give a little each payday and make a big difference for people across Surrey with Payroll Giving.

Support SCT through Payroll Giving

Payroll Giving is a simple, tax-efficient way to support Surrey Care Trust every time you get paid. Whether you’re an employer looking to make a positive impact or an employee wanting to give back, it’s an easy way to help transform lives across Surrey.

What is Payroll Giving?

Payroll Giving (also known as Give As You Earn) lets employees donate directly from their salary before Income Tax is deducted. This means your donation costs you less while Surrey Care Trust receives the full amount.

For example, a basic-rate taxpayer donating £10 a month will see their take-home pay reduced by just £8. It’s secure, convenient, and you can change or stop your donation at any time.

Why Support SCT?

Regular donations help us tackle disadvantage, improve wellbeing, and create opportunities for people across Surrey. By giving through Payroll Giving, you’ll provide reliable support that helps us plan ahead and reach more people in need.

The Benefits for Employees

Payroll Giving is an easy way to support your local charity while making your donation go further.

Benefits include:

  • Tax-efficient giving – Donations are taken before Income Tax, so your gift costs less than you donate.
  • Simple and hassle-free – Your donation comes straight from your salary, with no need to remember monthly payments.
  • Flexible – Increase, decrease, or stop your donation if your circumstances change.
  • A chance to make a lasting difference – Even a small monthly donation adds up over time and helps make a real local impact; improving lives and providing consistent support for people across Surrey.

The Benefits for Employers

Introducing Payroll Giving is a simple way to support your workforce while demonstrating your commitment to your community.

Offering Payroll Giving can help your organisation:

  • Strengthen your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments.
  • Support local communities by partnering with a trusted Surrey charity.
  • Increase employee engagement by giving staff an easy way to support causes they care about.
  • Enhance your reputation with customers, clients, and stakeholders by demonstrating a commitment to social impact.
  • Create a culture of giving and community involvement within your workplace.
  • Offer an employee benefit that makes charitable giving simple and tax-efficient.

Many employers also choose to match employee donations, doubling the impact of every gift and demonstrating an even greater commitment to supporting local communities.

Get Started

Every Payroll Giving donation, no matter the size, helps us to continue transforming lives across Surrey.

If you’re an employer, consider offering Payroll Giving as part of your employee benefits. If you’re an employee, ask your HR or payroll team if the scheme is available and choose Surrey Care Trust as your charity.

Together, we can create brighter futures across Surrey, one payday at a time.
