Payroll Giving is a valuable source of income for Save the Children. Just like other charities we are very much reliant on regular giving to be able to plan our activities. As Payroll Giving is unrestricted income this means that it can be used where the need is greatest and as an emergency responding organisation we often are in a situation where funds are needed extremely quickly. It is good to bear in mind that from all the emergencies we respond to each year, vast majority will not have its own appeal for general public but will nevertheless be an emergency for that community and require our help.
Organisations like StC Payroll Giving are very important to us as they have access to staff in thousands of workplaces throughout the year to talk about our work. We would not have resources to reach out to that many employees ourselves. Thanks to their work we can respond to many more situations from emergencies to education and healthcare.
