In recognition of excellence in Payroll Giving, the University of Sussex has been awarded 3 stars in this year’s Payroll Giving accreditation, showcasing Sussex’s commitment to charitable giving!
Through our Payroll Giving scheme, Sussex employees can support and make monthly donations to any UK registered national or local charity or recognised good cause through their salary. Examples include places of worship, school and scout groups, animal welfare, conservation and environmental concerns, disability, homelessness or LGBTQ+ communities.
How does it work?
Payroll Giving is simple and tax effective. Your donation is deducted from your pay before you pay HMRC. For example, if you donate £5, the cost to you in your take-home pay is £4 and HMRC pays the rest.
You can choose how much you want to give and are able to change the donation amount, amend which charities you would like to support, or even stop if you wish, at any time.
Setting up regular donations is beneficial for charities as it helps them to plan and budget, compared to one-off donations.
