Set up payroll giving
Setting up payroll giving means your staff can give to a vital cause and make a real difference to homeless people all year round.
Payroll giving is an easy way to support Emmaus’s vital work. Staff can decide to make a donation, direct from their salary, before they pay tax. This means that for every £5 donation, only £3.90 is taken from their pay – the tax man pays the rest.
Business benefits
Corporate partners make a crucial contribution to Emmaus Glasgow’s work, and they also offer fantastic benefits to the company itself. As well as increasing employee loyalty and morale, partnering with a charity can encourage team-building and leadership skills and generate brand awareness. By supporting Emmaus you will be supporting formerly homeless people right on your doorstep.
