Payroll Giving for employees

Give through your pay — it costs you less, but helps animals more. A small gift from each payslip becomes life-changing care for pets and working animals who have nowhere else to turn. It’s one of the most powerful ways to support our four charities because it provides steady, reliable help — the kind that means animals can be rescued, treated and protected every single day.

Payroll Giving is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to help animals in need.

Your donation comes straight from your salary before tax, meaning it costs you less — while helping four incredible animal charities provide life‑saving care for cats, dogs, horses, donkeys and small pets.

One donation. Four charities. More animals helped every month.

Why choose Payroll Giving?

Payroll Giving lets you support animals in a way that is:

✔ Tax‑efficient – Your donation is taken before tax, so it costs you less while the charities receive the full amount.

✔ Reliable – Your regular gift provides steady, dependable income that helps animals all year round.

✔ Flexible – You can change or stop your donation at any time.

✔ Impactful – Your gift is shared equally between four charities — helping more animals, in more places.

Your donation will help animals like Dennis

Deaf, partially blind, and suffering from painful injuries, Dennis was left for dead in a bin, aged just six weeks old. After urgent treatment and lots of loving care, he's now living life as a much-loved pet.

How much does it cost me?

Because Payroll Giving comes out before tax, your donation goes further.

If you donate £10 a month:

  • • You pay £8 if you’re a 20% taxpayer
  • • You pay £6 if you’re a 40% taxpayer

But the charities still receive the full £10.

How your Payroll Giving helps animals:

Your monthly gift is shared equally between four charities working tirelessly to protect and care for animals:

  • • Blue Cross — caring for sick, injured and homeless pets
  • • Mayhew — supporting animals and communities through rescue and outreach
  • • Working Animals International — providing vital veterinary care for working animals worldwide
  • • World Horse Welfare — protecting and improving the lives of horses in the UK and internationally

Because of you, animals receive emergency treatment, food, water, shelter, rescue and long‑term care.

“Knowing my donation comes before tax means I can give more each month — and it feels good knowing the charities can rely on it.” — Payroll giver
