Business

Get together with colleagues to support animals in need.

Ways to get your business involved:

Charity of the Year:

Inspire and motivate your employees by choosing us as your Charity of the Year. Or let us know if there are any longer-term partnerships you’d be interested in!

Payroll Giving:

This flexible scheme allows anyone who pays UK income tax to give tax-free to charities of their choice regularly. Find out more about Payroll Giving.

Match funding:

Check if your company offers matched funding. If they do every £1 you raise (usually, companies set an upper limit), your company could double it. If your company does not have a matched funding scheme, why not suggest it to them – it’s a great way to bring your team together, and they can claim tax relief on their donations. Find out more from CAF online.

Get fundraising as a team!

Getting together with your colleagues for a good cause can create a real buzz! You might find your customers getting involved and you can attract new customers who share your love for animal welfare.
