Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) is running a one day workshop for charities in Scotland
to help them promote payroll giving to companies.
Payroll giving in Scotland still
has plenty of potential. A study by CAF and The Royal Bank of Scotland showed that
households in Scotland donate an average of £2 a week through the payroll, compared
to almost £4 a week in London.

CAF’s workshop will be held on 23 January 2006 at The Scottish Council for Voluntary
Organisations’ offices, The Mansfield Traquair Centre, Edinburgh. It is aimed at
fundraisers already familiar with payroll giving. It will offer advice on how to
research and target the right companies and how to prepare promotions and secure
support from employees.

Panikos Efthimiou, Training Manager at CAF, said: “With the Government offering 
free money to small and medium-sized enterprises with its SME grant scheme, there
has never been a better time for promoting payroll giving.”
