Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is an easy, tax-efficient way to donate regularly to your chosen charities.
Why Choose Payroll Giving?
Payroll Giving is an easy, tax-efficient way to donate regularly to your chosen charities.
The Scottish SPCA’s mission is to make Scotland the best place in the world for an animal to call home. We need supporters like you to make it possible for our team to do vital work protecting Scotland’s animals from cruelty and neglect. And be their voice where it’s needed most.
3 Reasons to Choose Payroll Giving
Everything is handled through your employer’s payroll system so you don’t need to do anything after signing up. It’s flexible so you can start, stop or change your donation amount at any time.
Donations are processed before tax is applied. This means a £10 donation would only cost you £8 (or £6 if you’re a higher-rate taxpayer). You give less; the charities you care about get more. Some employers even match your donations.
Charities benefit from steady, predictable income streams so your monthly contributions help fund vital work now and support future plans.
How do I sign up to Payroll Giving?
You can make tax free donations by signing up to payroll giving today.
Scottish SPCA Inspectors and Animal Rescue Officers save thousands of domestic, wild and farm animals from harm and danger every year. While our Vets and staff in our Wildlife Rescue Centre and Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centres care for, rehabilitate and rehome thousands more.
Your donations will help save lives and help animals thrive.
What benefit does Payroll Giving deliver for employers?
Enhances employee engagement
Employees feel more aligned with employers that value giving back. It becomes a meaningful workplace benefit that can positively impact talent attraction, retention, engagement, and internal culture.
Strengthens brand & reputation
Improves public perception, strengthens relationships with customers and stakeholders, and attracts socially conscious clients and partners. Companies can also earn Quality Mark Awards and enter the National Payroll Giving Excellence Awards.
Supports ESG goals
A low-cost, low-maintenance way to demonstrate commitment to charitable initiatives, sustainability, and wider social impact.
How do companies set up Payroll Giving?
Select an Agency
Choose an HMRC-approved Payroll Giving agency (e.g. Charities Trust, CAF).
Update Payroll
Set up your payroll system to deduct the chosen amount from employees’ pay.
Send Funds
Transfer the deducted donations to the agency, who will distribute them to the charities.
Wild lives across Scotland need your support
Last year alone we saw 4,514 arrivals to our National Wildlife Rescue Centre. We depend on donations to keep our doors open. Your support could be the reason the next wild animal survives. Every £1 matters to Scotland’s wildlife in our care.
