A simple way to make a lasting difference

Every day, people living with Crohn's or Colitis face challenges that can affect every part of their lives – from education and work to relationships, wellbeing and future plans. Around 1 in 123 people in the UK are living with Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis, and there is still no cure. Crohn's & Colitis UK is working to change that by providing trusted information and support, funding pioneering research and campaigning for better healthcare and understanding.

Payroll Giving is an easy and tax-efficient way to help make that change happen.

The average donation from our Payroll Givers is £10 per month. Over 12 months, that's £120. This can fund a life-changing enquiry to the Crohn's & Colitis UK's Helpline, provide resources to one of our supporters meeting their local politician to advocate for early diagnosis AND fund an hour of a Research Associate's time to work on one of our many funded research studies. That's just from 1 person's donation, imagine what we could do if everyone affected by Crohn's or Colitis chose to support us in this way!

What is Payroll Giving?

Payroll Giving allows UK employees to donate directly to charity through their salary. Your donation is taken from your pay before tax is deducted, meaning the full donation comes to Crohn's & Colitis UK and costs you less than giving from your take-home pay.

For example:

A £10 donation could cost a basic-rate taxpayer just £8.
A £10 donation could cost a higher-rate taxpayer just £6.

Once you've signed up, your donation is automatically deducted each payday, making it one of the simplest ways to provide regular support.

Why Payroll Giving matters

Regular monthly donations give us the confidence to plan ahead and invest in long-term change. They help us:

Provide trusted information and support to people affected by Crohn's or Colitis.

Fund research into better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

Campaign for faster diagnosis, better care and greater public understanding.

Unite and empower our community to create lasting change.

Next Steps.....
