REWARD
All new P11D course collection
compared to the previous financial year. The final quarter of 2020/21 also saw a marked increase in the average value of one-off donations, driven by the approaching end of the financial year. This is a time where tax-efficient giving usually increases; payroll giving, as a pre-tax donation, being the only way for all employees to donate all the tax on top of their net contribution to their preferred causes. How donations help One charity benefitting from your work is Together for Animals – a consortium of four animal welfare charities – Blue Cross, Mayhew, the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad (SPANA) and World Horse Welfare. This was founded in 1993 to raise vital funds to help members carry out their life-saving work. More information can be found here: http://ow.ly/8xRt30s6U89. With a unique focus on raising funds through payroll giving, the charity helps animal lovers maximise the impact they are having on improving animals’ lives. Each donation is equally shared between their members, supporting cats, dogs, donkeys and horses, both in the UK and abroad, in some of the world’s poorest communities. The funds raised through payroll giving help to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome thousands of abandoned or neglected animals each year. Funding also provides veterinary care and treatment to animals in need, supports the individuals and communities who depend on animals for their well-being and livelihood and educates the next generation, so they understand how to provide the best care for animals. This creates a more compassionate world and a better future for animals. In 2020, Together for Animals supporters helped: ● 4,840 unwanted, abandoned or neglected animals find loving new homes ● provide 348,895 animals with free veterinary care saving them from suffering ● provide 5,419 pieces of humane equipment be distributed to working animal owners. Two-year-old saluki, Wizard, was one of the animals that received help. Thin, starving and nearly bald on some parts of his body, Wizard was in a sad state when he was found by a dog warden. He needed time to rest and recuperate at Together for Animals member Blue Cross, and to be found a new loving home. After some nurturing and plenty of love
from the team, Wizard made a full recovery and was put up for rehoming, where he was spotted by a caring couple looking for a new pet. Now settled in his new home, Wizard’s personality is shining through and his confidence growing day by day. Payroll giving’s success during Covid-19 offered a rare light of optimism and positivity during a storm where the sector faced a multi-billion-pound funding gap All animals deserve a loving home. The kind donations Together for Animals receives through payroll giving helps abandoned animals like Wizard to receive the treatments and care they need to be happy and healthy while they wait for a new home. Caroline Gaskin, development manager at Together for Animals, commented: “Payroll giving provides Together for Animals with a vital regular source of income, allowing us to provide lifesaving care for animals desperately in need. As a small charity, we see payroll giving as our key source of income.” n
