Small Change, Big Impact: Payroll Giving Month Is the Perfect Time to Help Animals in Need

Small Change, Big Impact: Payroll Giving Month Is the Perfect Time to Help Animals in Need

February is Payroll Giving Month — the perfect time to find out more about how a small, regular donation from your salary can make a big difference to animals who need it most.

At Together for Animals, we raise vital funds to help our member charities work together to create lasting change for animals in need. When you support us through payroll giving, your donation helps four charities rescue, protect, and care for animals every single day.

What Is Payroll Giving?

Payroll giving (also known as Give As You Earn) lets you donate directly from your salary before tax is taken. This means your donation costs you less, but its impact goes further.

For example, a £10 monthly donation may cost you just £8 if you’re a basic-rate taxpayer — while Together for Animals receives the full £10 to distribute to our member charities supporting animals in need.

Why Payroll Giving Makes Such a Difference

By giving monthly through payroll, your donations provide reliable, ongoing support. This helps our member charities plan ahead, respond quickly to emergencies, and continue their essential work for animals all year round.

That’s why Payroll Giving Month in February is such an important moment — it’s a chance to pause, learn more about the scheme, and see how easy it is to make a lasting impact.

What Can £10 a Month Do for Animals?

£10 a month — which will cost you a maximum of £8 — may feel like a small amount, but it can make a life-changing difference. It could help rescue and rehome abandoned or neglected animals, like Dennis, who was found abandoned in a bin and is now thriving in a loving home.

An Easy, Effective Way to Give

Payroll giving is one of the simplest and most tax-efficient ways to support Together for Animals. Once set up, your donation is taken automatically from your pay, with no forms to remember and no payments to manage.

If your employer offers payroll giving, February’s Payroll Giving Month is the perfect time to sign up and start making a difference — and your generosity costs you less thanks to tax relief.

Thank you for supporting Together for Animals and the charities working every day to improve animals’ lives.
