Involving employees
Fundraising at work is fun, motivating and good for team building. There are lots of ways you can support the work of The Prostate Cancer Charity by involving your employees
Employee fundraising
How about organising a ‘blue for the boys’ dress down day, 'moustache growing competition', or a ‘Real Man Quiz’ at your work? We can provide you with various fundraising materials such as leaflets, posters, collection tins, balloons, and pin badges to support your event. Please contact us if you would like to order support materials, a fundraising pack full of great ideas, or to discuss your fundraising event in more detail.
Payroll giving
Payroll Giving is a simple and tax effective scheme, which allows you to donate to the charity of your choice by a direct deduction from your salary. If your company has a Payroll Giving scheme established, the payroll department deducts the amount pledged from your pay. The charity receives your donation, and the tax you would have paid on this amount is added on by the government. Download a form here.
| Donation to Charity | Actual cost to Employee (on 22% tax rate) |
Actual cost to Employee (on 40% tax rate) |
| £5.00 | £3.90 | £3.00 |
| £10.00 | £7.80 | £6.00 |
Events
There are a number of different events you could get a team from work involved in. Last year we received over £160,000 from people taking part in running events and challenges like the London Marathon and the Great North Run. We have an Events Calendar to provide you with details of all the upcoming events in which you can take part in.
Alternatively you could tie in your fundraising activities with one of our bespoke events
