Meet the payroll givers

TAYLOR'S STORY 

Taylor, a Delivery Resolutions Specialist at ASOS, has a very personal motivation behind his Payroll Giving.

 “Two years ago I lost my mum to cancer. I saw the help she got from so many good causes and want to make sure others get the same. Without donations, I wouldn’t have had as much time with my mum as I did. That was possible because people before me gave to these charities, so now it’s my turn.”

At just 21 years old, Taylor currently gives to 14 different causes through his Payroll Giving, but is especially passionate about giving to children’s cancer causes:

“My mum was a grown up when she went through treatment. Seeing what she went through, I wanted to help young people going through the same thing as it must be so frightening and confusing.”

LAUREN'S STORY

Lauren is Corporate Social Responsibility Lead for TalkTalk Group.

Lauren lives and breathes all things charity, whether that’s the organisation’s official charity partnerships, fundraising, volunteering – or Payroll Giving.

“I see payroll giving as an opportunity for us as an organisation to support what matters most to our people. It’s really important for us to enable our employees to donate to a wide range of charities.”

Lauren sees payroll giving as a key employee benefit too:

“Payroll Giving is a unique way to show employees – and potential employees – why TalkTalk is a great place to work. It shows we’re thinking about what’s important to them. Plus it can really help you understand your workforce by gaining insight into who they give to.”
