A simple, tax-effective way to support Harlington Hospice
At Harlington Hospice, we rely on the generosity of people and organisations who help us deliver compassionate care to local people facing life-limiting illness. Payroll Giving is one of the easiest and most tax-efficient ways to give regularly straight from your salary.
What is Payroll Giving?
Payroll Giving (also known as Give As You Earn) allows you to donate to Harlington Hospice directly from your pay before Income Tax is deducted. Because your gift comes from your gross pay, it costs you less while still delivering the full amount to us.
For example:
- As a basic rate taxpayer, a £10 gift costs you just £8.
- As a higher rate taxpayer, it costs just £6.
- As an additional rate taxpayer, it costs even less.
That means your generosity goes further, helping us plan ahead with regular, dependable funding so we can continue to be there for patients and families when they need us most.
How it works
For Employees
- Check if your employer already offers Payroll Giving through your HR or payroll team.
- Choose how much you want to give and which charities you want to support (you can give to more than one).
- Your donation is taken automatically from your pay before tax each pay period.
- You can change or stop your donation at any time simply by contacting your payroll department.
Â
For Employers
Offering Payroll Giving is easy to set up and shows your organisation’s commitment to the community. Your payroll team works with an HMRC-approved Payroll Giving agency to administer donations. Once set up, employees can sign up and select Harlington Hospice (among other charities) as their chosen beneficiary.
There are no obligatory set-up costs, and any administration fees charged by the agency can either be covered by you as the employer or deducted from the donation before it’s forwarded to the charity.

Why we need your support
As a charity only part funded by the NHS, every year we need to raise £2.4 million in voluntary income. It is only with the kindness of our supporters that we can be alongside our vibrant Hillingdon community at their time of need.Â
We know how important it is that people living alongside serious or terminal illness can access support that’s shaped around them, when and where they need it. Your donations allow us to keep our Hospice running every day, as well as go above and beyond for people experiencing the most vulnerable moments in their lives.
