Support YMCA Bournemouth through Give As You Earn
Did you know that February is Payroll Giving Month?
Over 4,000 employers already offer Payroll Giving. Is yours one of them?
Payroll Giving, also known as Give As You Earn, is a simple and tax efficient way to donate regularly to UK charities directly from your gross salary.
By supporting YMCA Bournemouth through Payroll Giving, you can help provide safe accommodation, youth services, mentoring, mental health support and community programmes for local people who need us most.
Why Payroll Giving Matters
Regular monthly donations provide dependable income that allows YMCA Bournemouth to plan effectively, invest in long term services and respond to growing need in our communities.
For YMCA Bournemouth, this stability means:
- Safe housing for vulnerable young people
- Early intervention and youth work
- Support for families in crisis
- Mental wellbeing services
- Employment and life skills programmes
The Benefits
For Employees
Payroll Giving is one of the most tax efficient ways to give.
Donations are taken from your pay after National Insurance but before Income Tax is deducted. This means you receive tax relief immediately.
If you donate £20 per month:
- It costs a basic rate taxpayer £16
- It costs a higher rate taxpayer £12
- It costs an additional rate taxpayer £11
You make a bigger impact at a lower personal cost.
For Employers
Payroll Giving demonstrates a commitment to:
- Staff wellbeing
- Corporate social responsibility
- ESG and responsible business initiatives
- Supporting the local community
It is cost effective and flexible. Employers can:
- Cover administration fees
- Match employee donations
- Offset associated costs against profits, reducing Corporation Tax
Offering Payroll Giving is a visible and meaningful way to support your workforce and your community.
For YMCA Bournemouth
Payroll Giving provides:
- Reliable, predictable income
- Reduced administration as Gift Aid does not need to be claimed
- Stronger long term planning
- Greater impact for our beneficiaries
