Give As You Earn

The University operates a charity giving scheme whereby you can give to the charity of your choice through salary. As this is an Inland Revenue approved scheme, by making a regular contribution through salary, all donations are subject to tax relief. What this means is, if you contribute £20.00 per month, the net affect on your salary is £16.00, £12.00 or £10.00, depending on your particular tax bracket.
