Payroll Giving

Donate money tax-free from your salary

If your employer has a payroll giving scheme, it’s easy to nominate Together as your chosen charity, and make a regular donation tax-free. Regular donations help us plan more effectively and carry out our vital mental health care.

Payroll giving is also known as Give As You Earn (GAYE).

How does payroll giving work?

Thousands of employers are part of HMRC’s payroll giving scheme. If your employer has signed up, you can fill in a simple form, return it to your payroll department, and your chosen donation will be deducted from your salary, before tax. This means if you choose to give £10, only £8 will be deducted from your salary, and HMRC will make up the rest – so Together still gets £10. If you pay higher rate tax, the tax relief is higher.

How do I sign up?

  1. Find out if your employer has a payroll giving scheme.
  2. Fill in either your employer’s donation form or ours, and give it to your payroll department.
  3. Check your next pay slip to see your deductions.
  4. You’ll receive a thank you letter from us to confirm your gift.

Frequently asked questions

What if my employer doesn’t offer payroll giving?

You can ask them to join the HMRC scheme, or give to Together in another way, for example, by phone, standing order, cheque or online.

Can I give to more than one charity this way?

Yes.

What happens if I change jobs?

Your contributions will automatically stop as soon as you receive your final pay. If your new employer has a payroll giving scheme, you can start your donations again by filling in their form.
