Kwik-Fit Insurance has been awarded recognition from the Institute of Fundraising
following the company’s achievements in payroll giving. 
The insurance intermediary,
which currently has over 950 employees, was awarded the recognition, initially at
bronze level for the money given so far in 2007 by staff. This has been given a 
huge boost by the introduction of the company’s ‘donate an hours pay’ scheme which
launched back in January to raise money for it’s Charity of the Year, Tak Tent.

The scheme has so far raised nearly £20,000 for the Glasgow-based cancer support
charity and has had an impressive uptake with over 600 hundred staff donating an
hours wage.

Kwik-Fit Insurance received the Payroll Giving Quality Mark which recognises and
rewards organisations for making Payroll Giving available to their staff. The Quality
Mark provides employers with a certificate and logo for signing up to Payroll Giving
and Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards in respect of each employer’s employee participation
rates. The Quality Mark aims to provide UK charities with sustainable income streams
by increasing participation in Payroll Giving.
