More ways to give
There are very simple ways to support our work through your daily life such as online shopping and donating a portion of your pay or you can have a lasting impact through leaving a gift in your will. These ways of giving are tax effective and help our clients get the life-changing support they need.
Payroll giving
Support us at St Giles by donating straight from your monthly pay before tax. Your donation is calculated after your National Insurance contribution, but before Income Tax is deducted; this means part of your donation comes from money that would otherwise have been taken by HMRC. Every £1 you donate will cost you 80p, or if you are a higher rate taxpayer every £1 will cost you just 60p.

Make donating as simple as possible and give while you shop. We are registered with the following retail outlets;
- Ebay for Charity
