We are interested in setting up a payroll giving scheme. Where do we start?
If you are new to Payroll Giving, you must first choose a registered agency. You can find out more information here.
I want to participate in payroll giving. What should I tell my employer?
Before moving forward with Payroll Giving, you must check if your employer offers Payroll Giving. If they do, that’s excellent news, and you will be one step closer to donating to Mindroom! You must provide your employer with our registered charity name, number (The Salvesen Mindroom Centre, SC030472), and the amount you want to be deducted.
If your employer is not currently registered with a Payroll Giving agency, you can ask them to consider setting up an account with a registered agency. Further information can be found here.
