Give as you earn scheme

You can help to write history by becoming part of this exciting project. Your money will make a real difference, not only to the students at the Crichton but to Dumfries and Galloway as a whole, as our profile is raised nationally and internationally.

We would like to ask you to become part of the Crichton by contributing a small amount of money to help secure a wonderful inheritance that can be used by you, your children and their descendants. Make a Footprint in Time by having your donation recorded in perpetuity in our Footprints Ledger. By giving today you can make a lasting contribution to our valuable heritage.

Putting your money in a collection box is actually not the most effecient way of giving to you favourite charity. Give As You Earn (or Payroll Giving) boosts your giving power. Give As You Earn is tax free and until April 2003, the Government is adding an additional 10% to every pledge made. If you pay tax at the standard rate it will cost you only £3.90 to give £5.50 to the charity of your choice, or give £7.80 to give £11.00. That's less than £1 and £2 per week respectively.

To help, simply click the link at the bottom of this page to be transferred to our secure application form. We will ask your employer to make the deductions from your salary. Your employer does not have to know which charity you are supporting. All details will be given in confidence.
