Payroll Giving

What is Payroll Giving?

Payroll Giving is a hassle-free way to give to Bliss, straight from your pay.

Because your donation is taken from your pay before tax is deducted, it costs you less to give the same amount. For example, a £10 donation to Bliss only costs you £8 from your take-home pay.

You can set up your gift by filling in this simple payroll giving form.

We’ll get in touch with your employer and set up the payments. You can change or stop your donation at any time – just ask your employer.

Why support Bliss through Payroll Giving?

Payroll giving is a tax-efficient and hassle-free way to support babies born premature or sick. It's the perfect way for time-poor adults to help poorly babies, because we understand that not everyone has time to trek Hadrian’s wall, bake a cupcake or volunteer at a local unit.

Once you’ve filled in this payroll giving form we do all the work for you, and every time you get paid you will help to care for the UK’s most vulnerable babies and their families. You don’t even need to provide your bank details!

What is more, Payroll Giving has very low admin costs for Bliss, which means your donation goes even further.

How does my gift cost me less?
