 Payroll giving
Payroll giving is a simple, easy way to make a regular donation. You decide how much you would like to donate each month, and it is deducted from your pay by your employer, then passed to us at Addaction.
Because the donation is made before any deductions of income tax, if you were to pledge £5 each month it would only cost you £3.90 – with the full £5 going to Addaction. If you are a higher rate taxpayer, you’ll save even more.

Leaving a legacy
A legacy is an amazing way to make an impact on the lives of those suffering from the effects of substance misuse.
Best of all, a legacy made to a registered charity is free from inheritance tax, so pledging a legacy to Addaction will effectively reduce any tax you have to pay.
Many of Addaction’s goals will take time to achieve. A legacy in your will will help us with our long term projects giving us a greater confidence to continue our innovative work.

 Share giving
Giving shares to charity is not a new idea, but since April 2000, there is a new tax incentive to make Share Giving even more attractive. Individuals who give shares to charity are entitled to claim back full tax relief against the value of those shares. So, a gift of shares worth £1,000 will only cost a higher rate taxpayer £600, or £780 for lower rate taxpayers and furthermore, no capital gains tax will apply.
There are many reasons why giving shares might appeal to you. You might hold windfall shares as a result of a privatisation or demutualisation that are effectively gathering dust. These may be making little difference to you, but they could make a big difference to Addaction. Or, you may own small parcels of shares, perhaps as a result of an inheritance, that you regard as a bit of a nuisance as they generate more paperwork than income. These could be turned into something of real value to Addaction.
