Make payday extra special with Payroll Giving
Your payroll donation will help bring real life-changing breakthroughs closer for people with Parkinson’s like Jim, you can read his story at the bottom of the page.
Payroll Giving is a quick, cost-effective way to give, meaning your gift will work even harder. Payroll Giving is open to everyone who is paid Pay As You Earn (PAYE). Your chosen amount is taken straight from your pay, before tax. Join now and sign up using this form.
How does it work?
- Your donation is taken from your pay before tax. So, if you pledge to donate £5 per month, it would actually cost you £4 on a basic tax rate or £3 on the higher rate.
- You can opt for your donation to be monthly or yearly. This is great as you don’t have to do anything after you have set it up.
What are the benefits of Payroll Giving?
- You’ll be helping to fund pioneering research to find life-changing breakthroughs for thousands of people with Parkinson’s.
- It's quick and easy. You only need to sign up once and let others do the rest!
- It's tax free. You won’t pay tax on your contribution. In fact, we get to keep the tax you would otherwise have paid. So it means you pay less but give more. And your company might even match your donation.
- It's completely secure. Set up your donation without any bank details and choose how you want to be contacted.
