Alternative Ways to Donate

Donating to East London Cares helps keep our programmes free and accessible, so we can continue to connect older and younger neighbours through time, friendship, and laughter. There are so many ways to donate to East London Cares, from social media to online shopping. 

Payroll Giving

Donating to East London Cares through Payroll Giving (also known as Give As You Earn) involves donating straight from your payslip. Money donated through Payroll Giving is taken out of your pay after National Insurance but before Income Tax - so it reduces the amount of income tax you pay. For most people, for every 80p you donate, East London Cares will receive a pound. 

 

To donate through payroll giving, your employer has to be working with a facilitator - like Charities Aid Foundation, Giveall2charity, or Charities Trust. Contact your Payroll team to find out if Payroll Giving exists in your workplace, or if it can be put in place.  

 

You can find out more about Payroll Giving on the government website.
