Give as you earn with payroll giving

Tax-efficient, regular giving through PAYE.

If you have employees, consider enabling them to make a regular donation to Oakhaven Hospice through PAYE. Payroll Giving, also known as Workplace Giving or Give-As-You-Earn, is a simple and tax-efficient way of supporting Oakhaven.

Payroll Giving is a great way for companies to enhance their corporate social responsibility (CSR) and their commitment to the causes that their employees care about. It is quick and easy to set up and administer with virtually no setup costs.

What's more, companies can increase the value of their employees' contribution through matched giving, whereby they match an employee's donation by a chosen percentage.

Employees choose the amount they’d like to donate and then each payday their gift will be deducted automatically from their gross salary (after National Insurance but before tax).

This means the tax they would have paid on their donation is also given to Oakhaven Hospice.

If you are interested in setting up payroll giving for your business visit https://www.gov.uk/payroll-giving where you will be directed to contact an approved Payroll Giving agency to set up the scheme. Make deductions each time you run payroll before tax but after National Insurance. Send the donations to your agency and then they’ll pass them on to Oakhaven Hospice.

A £10 donation for a basic rate taxpayer (20%) will only actually cost £8 or just £6 for higher rate taxpayers (40%)!

Here is a guide of what would be deducted from salary and what Oakhaven Hospice would receive:

Pledge to Oakhaven Hospice	Cost to employee (20% tax)	Cost to employee (40% tax)
£5.00 per month	£4.00	£3.00
£10.00 per month	£8.00	£6.00
£15.00 per month	£12.00	£9.00
£20.00 per month	£16.00	£12.00

Encourage employees with matched giving

Match your employee's fundraising efforts!

Increase employee engagement by matching the funds your employees raise for Oakhaven Hospice!

Businesses can increase the value of their employees' contribution through matched giving (also known as match funding), whereby they match an employee's donation by a chosen percentage. Not only does this inspire staff to give more, but it also boosts morale within the workplace and raises your company’s ethical profile.

Some companies offer this on a pound-for-pound basis, while others will specify the amount they’re prepared to give.

For example if your employees carry out fundraising activities for Oakhaven Hospice this is how you can boost their donation.

Money Raised	100% matched giving	75% matched giving	50% matched giving
£250	£250	£187.50	£125
£500	£500	£375	£250
£750	£750	£562.50	£375

Run for Oakhaven Hospice in the New Forest

John D Wood sponsor of the Oakhaven Santa Dash

“For a number of years, we’ve supported Oakhaven Hospice’s Family Fun Day. We are also the lead sponsor for Oakhaven’s annual Santa Dash, which starts just outside our office on Lymington High Street. The team suggested that we should don Santa suits and take part in the run and raise even more money with an office raffle of prizes such as theatre tickets. This has all now become a bit of a staff tradition and every year we have lots of fun together raising money for a charity that is very close to our hearts.

“Many of our clients’ lives have been touched by Oakhaven, we hear first-hand how the quality of service and compassionate care provided free of charge to patients is exemplary. And we understand how vital our hospice is to its community. Yet we know that the cost of running Oakhaven’s services is vast and that to secure their future they need every penny that we – and other businesses like us - can raise and provide for them.

“At John D Wood we quietly do our bit to support Oakhaven, both financially and lending a hand when required. We’ve definitely gained a lot of brand awareness and clients from our association such an important and well-respected local charity, but more importantly we want to give something back into the community. What’s more, our team takes a lot of pride in helping this vital charity. We will be continuing our support for many years to come and wholeheartedly recommend to other local businesses that they should support Oakhaven too.”

Kevin Allen, Associate Director of John D Wood & Co
