Donating straight from you salary or "Payroll Giving", is a cost effective way to support Simon Says. You decide how much you would like to give each month - £5 for example. This amount is then paid to us straight from your monthly salary before tax is deducted.
That means a gift of £5 actually costs you only £3.90 (or £3.00 if you pay tax at a higher rate).
As we know your gift will be coming on a regular basis, we can plan our future services and finances more effectively and with confidence. We will also forward you our Newsletter to keep you informed of our progress and how your donation is being spent.
What are the benefits?
Payroll Giving is a tax-effective way for employees and pensioners to give to Simon Says. For every £1 that you donate, 22p (at 22% tax rate), which would normally go to the taxman, will go to Simon Says.
How does it work?
Providing that your employer offers Payroll Giving it could not be simpler. All you need to do is print out our Payroll Giving Form, fill it in and pass it on to your payroll or personnel department and then send a copy to us. This will authorise your employer to deduct donations from your pay. Your employer pays these donations to a Payroll Giving agency approved by the Inland Revenue.
The agency then distributes the money to Simon Says. Once your donation is set up, you don't have to do any more.
In return we will send you our Newsletter twice a year, which will keep you updated on how your donations are being spent.
If your employer doesn't offer Payroll Giving you could suggest they start one - it's is easy and inexpensive to run. They can find out more about how to get started from the Inland Revenue (see the link below).
