Giving Tuesday: The perfect Day to start making a difference through payroll giving
Every year, Giving Tuesday inspires millions of people around the world to act with generosity. It’s a day dedicated to doing good—supporting causes we care about, uplifting our communities, and making a positive impact in whatever way we can.
At Payroll Giving Month, we believe there’s no better time than Giving Tuesday to shine a light on one of the simplest, most powerful ways to give: Payroll Giving.
Why Giving Tuesday is the ideal moment to begin payroll giving
Giving Tuesday is all about collective action. It’s proof that when many people each take one small step, the impact adds up to something extraordinary.
Payroll Giving works exactly the same way.
By choosing to give a small, regular donation directly from your salary, you can support the charities you care about all year round—automatically, tax-efficiently, and sustainably. And because donations are taken before tax, every pound goes further, helping your charity do even more.
On Giving Tuesday, the world pauses to ask: How can I help today?
Payroll Giving offers the perfect answer: Start something that helps every day.
Small actions, big impact
One of the reasons people love Giving Tuesday is that it removes the pressure of making a grand gesture. It celebrates the power of small, simple acts. Payroll Giving shares this same philosophy.
It’s easy – Set it up once, and your donation makes a difference every payday.
It’s efficient – Charities receive a predictable, long-term income stream they can rely on.
It’s tax-effective – You give more without paying more.
It’s flexible – You can support any UK charity, change your donation anytime, and spread your generosity across multiple causes.
By beginning on Giving Tuesday, your first step becomes part of a global wave of kindness—joining millions of others choosing to do good.
Why start on Giving Tuesday?
It’s a global movement with local impact
Your Payroll Giving donation might be £5, £10, or £20 a month—but to your chosen charity, it becomes a stable, ongoing lifeline.
It turns a moment of generosity into a year of support
Giving Tuesday lasts 24 hours. Payroll Giving keeps working quietly in the background, month after month.
It’s a meaningful commitment—not a one-off gesture
Charities rely on regular giving to plan their work, reach more people, and respond when crises happen.
A great day to begin something good
When you sign up for Payroll Giving on Giving Tuesday, you’re not just taking part in a global celebration of generosity—you’re starting a habit that will make a difference long after the day has passed.
