Making a regular donation is more than just giving money, it is a commitment to putting an end to domestic abuse and to protecting the future generations of women and girls in Wolverhampton.

We truly believe in making every penny you donate count, so you won’t receive any glossy magazines from us or unnecessary postage. You can expect that funds will go directly to the women and children. We like to communicate via email and occasionally we will update you so you can see how you are helping us to create a safer future for women and children.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid is a scheme set up by HMRC to allow charities to reclaim the basic tax rate you have paid on your donation at no extra cost to you or the charity. This means that by stating you are eligible for Gift Aid, for every £10 donated, we can claim an additional £2.50. This alone is enough to cover the cost of a call to our emergency helpline and so, really does make all the difference. Download our Gift Aid form here. If you are unsure whether you are eligible for Gift Aid or would like further information, why not download our Gift Aid FAQ.

Payroll Giving is a great way for anyone who pays income tax to make a regular gift to support women and children at The Haven. It is also the most tax-efficient way to make a donation to us as your donation will come straight from your gross salary, before tax. This means if you make a monthly donation of £10, you only actually contribute £8 of that yourself as the other £2 is what would have been paid to HMRC.

This is a great way of making your donation go further. You can set up your payroll giving donation in a few simple steps by contacting your payroll department and asking if they have a payroll giving scheme in place. If they do, great! Complete their form, selecting The Haven Wolverhampton as your chosen charity, and your employer can guide you from there.

If they don’t have a payroll giving scheme in place, information about payroll giving can be found on Professional Fundraising Organisation websites such as the Charities Aid Foundation or Charities Trust.

Please feel free to pass our details on to your employer if they need any help and support getting set up or about how they can promote the scheme to employees across the company. There are proven benefits to team engagement and morale when your colleagues feel like they are coming together to make a real difference to the lives of those in their community therefore promoting a payroll giving scheme can be a great addition to your wellbeing packages.
