Payroll giving is a way of giving money to charity without paying tax on it. For example a donation of £5 a month would cost an employee £4 from their take home pay (if they pay 20% tax) or £3 (if they pay 40% tax).Find out from your HR department if you can donate to UKSA from your wages or visit the gov.uk website.
UKSA increases the water confidence of over 1,400 children from the Isle of Wight each year through our ‘Test the Water’ programme, which is funded entirely by individual and company donations. Offered to every year 6 child on the Island, it gives students the opportunity to participate in a half-day sailing or watersports session to develop new water confidence skills which help with resilience, communication and self-belief.
This academic year, we need to raise $42,840 for all year 6 children to attend.
