An employee's personal viewpoint - Coping with the loss of a loved one
Choosing a charity can be a very personal experience. 
Some people know exactly who they want to support, and have a personal connection with a particular cause.
We spoke to Manchester University employee Helen Davies, to get her view on what regular charity giving means to her.
Helen, who works for the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health at the university, said she chose to donate to a mental health charity after losing someone close to her to suicide.
She said that by choosing the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), she hopes her contribution can help others in similar situations.
She said: “The charity aims to raise awareness of male suicide - the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. I know how devastating the impact is on those left behind. I couldn't change what had happened to my family, but I could help others. CAF Give As You Earn is one way to do that.”
“I think it is very important that my employer provides this service. It benefits charities and allows the people who donate to feel they are doing something worthwhile and helping causes they believe in. It also shows what a difference people can make as individuals and as part of a wider working community.”
