A journey out of homelessness isn’t always easy but your Payroll Gift will help provide vital support and the tools needed to help people leave homelessness behind.
The easiest, most tax-efficient and flexible way you can give!
Payroll Giving is a vital source of income for Crisis and is one of the most straight-forward and tax-efficient ways that you can give. Your donation is deducted from your salary or pension before paying tax, meaning you can give us more and it will cost you less.
Setting up your Payroll Gift to Crisis is easy – all you need to do is fill out a few details and we will take care of the rest.
A journey out of homelessness can take time. As we all know, finding a home, getting doctors’ appointments, navigating the benefits system and finding new employment isn’t always easy. But your Payroll Gift will help provide the vital support needed to help people end their homelessness for good.

After Simon’s mum passed away, the landlord decided to increase the rent of his family home that they had lived in for decades. Simon couldn’t afford the increased rent and was served an eviction notice. Facing homelessness, Simon contacted Crisis for help. Simon’s Lead Worker advocated on his behalf, challenging attempts by the council to move him into unsuitable temporary accommodation and providing legal assistance. He has now been moved into a social home with Crisis’ support.
We were only able to help Simon because of supporters just like you. By donating today, you can ensure we can continue our vital work and help someone leave homelessness behind for good.
“Up until I went to Crisis, I felt alone. I felt that I was the only person. And then, working with Crisis, I realised that it wasn’t just me. There are thousands of people out there that are in a similar situation.”

Payroll giving...
Yes, there are many amazing causes out there and you can give to as many of them as you wish. With Payroll Giving, there will only ever be one deduction from your salary and the Payroll Giving Agent will distribute your donations accordingly.
No, there is no minimum or maximum amount - you can give whatever feels like the right amount for you.
No matter how big or small your donation is, it contributes to ending homelessness and we are so grateful for your support. You can read our recent annual report to see the impact that donations have for people experiencing homelessness.
Of course - we understand that circumstances change and you may need to cancel your gift. The easiest way to cancel is to contact your employer and request to cancel your gift.
Remember, your gift will automatically be cancelled if you leave your place of work. If you wish to continue your Payroll Gift to Crisis, you’ll need to restart your gift to Crisis with your new employer.
No. You can’t Gift Aid your Payroll Gift, this is because your donation is taken with the tax saving already applied.
If you pay the highest rate tax, Payroll Giving is more tax efficient than Gift Aid. That's because Gift Aid offers a 25% tax relief, but Payroll Giving offers a 45% tax relief (for highest rate tax).
Because a journey out of homelessness can take time. Finding a home, getting doctors’ appointments, navigating the benefits system and finding new employment isn’t always easy.
We have big plans for the next ten years and regular Payroll Gifts allow us to plan ahead and provide the vital support needed to help people end their homelessness for good.
Yes, your employer will use a Payroll Giving Agent (kind of like a charity bank!) to process your donation. The Payroll Giving Agent will charge a small fee per donation, which is usually between 2-4%. Alternatively, your employer can opt to pay the fee on your behalf, and we will receive your full donation amount.
Depending on the time of month you set up your gift, you can generally expect your donation to begin coming out of your pay around a month after you’ve set your gift up. The donation will show on your payslip, so you will know when it has begun!
