As an organisation, we’ve been given a Payroll Giving Quality Mark certificate for the money our staff have raised through a charitable giving scheme.
This has been granted for the HMRC Affiliated Just Giving Scheme which allows colleagues to donate from their salaries to a charity of their choice. PA covers the admin charge, but these donations are all willingly contributed by PA Housing staff.
The certificate itself is from Charitable Giving, the Government-recognised organisation behind the award, who sent their congratulations for supporting and promoting the scheme.
It’s our aim to continue taking part in this scheme. Not for the recognition but because it’s our own way of giving back to those who need it.
Clare Mortimore Chief Executive Officer, Charitable Giving said:
"Congratulations! This is a well-deserved recognition of your efforts in supporting and promoting HMRC’s Payroll Giving scheme.
"The new eligibility criteria directly rewards employers who carry out active promotions, offer donation matching, and cover administration fees, so the focus is not simply on percentage uptake but what employers are committing in terms of budget and/or time to make their scheme a success.
"Your award shows just how much your company values its staff and its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and the community.
"We’re proud of all our amazing employer clients, and all of us here at Charitable Giving sincerely thank you for working with us – it’s fantastic to be making a difference together."
