Payroll Giving for Employees
Thank you for considering donation to Yorkshire Air Ambulance through your pay. Payroll giving allows you to give to UK registered charities like Yorkshire Air Ambulance directly from your pay, before tax. It is a reliable and long-term source of income for Yorkshire Air Ambulance and gives us the opportunity to plan for the future.
How it works:
If your employer already offers payroll giving, there may already be a form available internally for you to complete.
Initially you will need to choose how much you would like to donation and which charity you would like to support. This is usually done via your employers chosen payroll giving supplier. The form is generally available on their website or you may have an internal process for this.
Once set up, your chosen donation will be deducted from your gross salary, before income tax is applied. The benefit of this, is that it reduces your taxable income and saves you money on tax.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance receives the full donation directly from the chosen payroll giving supplier, without needing to reclaim tax.
Here’s an easy read explanation of your donation:
Remember, if you would like to receive updates and thank you notifications for your donation, it is important to consent into your data being passed on to Yorkshire Air Ambulance when first setting up your donation with the relevant payroll giving supplier.
One important thing to remember, if you change jobs you will need to reset up your payroll giving, it will not automatically change over to your new employer.
If your place of work doesn’t currently support payroll giving we would advise you to speak with your HR or Finance/Payroll department and refer them to the Employer section of this website, to help them set it up.
Employees are free to end an agreement to donate at any time.
Please note: Yorkshire Air Ambulance is unable to provide financial advice on the potential benefits of payroll giving.
Why Now?
- The future of our current base is uncertain, which is a concern to us. We need to ensure our future in this part of the region to maintain continuity and stability for our critical care service.
- A permanent, YAA-owned base will provide greater long-term security, operational flexibility and service resilience.
- We’ve outgrown our current facilities at RAF Topcliffe, which we’ve operated from for over a decade as tenants.
- The purpose-built design will improve working conditions and support our crews’ wellbeing and training.
- With your support, we can create a world-class base ready to meet Yorkshire’s future emergency needs.
Having a base in the North of the region means we can be there for people like Katie Flounders
17-year-old motorcyclist Katie’s bike collided with a car only eight miles from her house. YAA’s crew were dispatched from just five miles away, reaching Katie within minutes.
The team placed Katie into a medically induced coma at the roadside to protect her brain, before accompanying her to hospital.
