Payroll Giving
Easy and tax efficient giving directly with your employeer
Your donations are taken from your salary before tax, making your gift go further.
It can be started, stopped and changed at any time.
If your employer is enrolled in a Payroll Giving Scheme (or Give As You Earn), ask your Payroll office for the relevant form.
If your employer is not registered in the scheme, let us know to help you get them enrolled. It’s easy!
Matching Scheme
Your employer matches your donation to our charity
Some employers will have a matching scheme to give your donation a hand so it can go further.
Generally, it involves you sending us a cheque and the matching scheme form. We complete it and send it to your payroll team, who process the payment. Easy!
Our treasurer Alison is happy to help you with this. Just send her an email.

Online Donations
Give online or sign-up to a challenge to raise for our charity. Share our cause with your friends!
Tell people about our cause or sign-up to a challenge and select us as your cause. Wonderful.Org has no fees, and does the gift aid for us!
You can share Wonderful.org in your social networks, to get more support from a broader group.
Corporate Volunteering Days
Some companies allow volunteer for a charity, often offering a cash donation.
Some companies like GSK, Sky and others have programmes where employees alone or in teams can volunteer for a cause. Not only a helping hand, but the company will give the charity some cash.
We have parents who have arranged this for us, and it worked very well. Email us to find projects where your team or company can help
Monthly Installments Beyond the School Fund
Give a little a month with a direct debit. You keep control.
If you can, donate to the school above and beyond the school fund. Give as much or as little as you want. This can be stopped, increased or decreased anytime. Email our treasurer for the bank account details and the UK Gift Aid form.
Email us to ask for the account details for you to set-up the standing order.
