Payroll giving

If you are a company employee, giving as you earn is an easy way to donate to Child Bereavement UK. It is also tax free as it is deducted from your gross pay so any tax you have paid on that amount of money also comes to us.

The following example shows how this works:

A donation of £10 to Child Bereavement UK would cost you:

£8 for basic rate tax payers (20%)
£6 for higher rate tax payers (40%)
£5.50 for the highest rate tax payers (45%)

How your donation helps

Since 2017, our payroll givers have donated £113,750 - small, regular donations really add up and have a huge impact on our work. This is the equivalent of 5,690 calls to our Helpline or 2,275 booked telephone support sessions for bereaved parents.

How to set up a gift

You can choose how much you want to give and can cancel it any time you want, so you are in control.

To find out more email: [email protected] We will take a few details and then organise your regular gift with your employer. If your employer doesn’t already have a scheme, we can help them set one up.
