Action Medical Research has been awarded a Gold Quality Mark Award by the Charities
Aid Foundation in recognition of the the fact that 27% of its staff give to charity
by payroll giving.
The award is given to any organisation which has more than 10%
of its staff taking part in the Give As You Earn scheme, donating money to charity
through the payroll.

At Action Medical Research, over 27% of staff donate through the payroll giving 
scheme, giving a total of almost £200 a month. Two thirds of the participants of
the scheme give their money back to Action Medical Research, and others give through
their pay packets to an alternative chosen cause.

 

 

Action Research Fundraiser Marcia Hibberd said: “As a charity, we are encouraging
others to take part in the scheme to help us fund medical research for preventing
disease and disability, and we’re delighted that we are leading by example in this
case.”
