Howard Lake | 28 October 2003 | News
The Giving Campaign is boosting its payroll giving team with the appointment of two new campaign managers.
Guy Simpson and Penny Clover are joining the
Campaign aiming to increase the number of businesses and public sector organisations that offer a scheme to staff and boosting employee participation in organisations currently running schemes.
Guy Simpson will focus upon private sector companies, signing up new companies and encouraging those that already have a scheme to strive for an employee participation rate of at least 10%. Guy has spent over fifteen years working in commercial sales and marketing in addition to time as a voluntary fundraiser for the Air Ambulance Foundation.

Penny Clover’s remit is to promote payroll giving within the public and
voluntary sectors. Penny Clover joins the Campaign with twelve years experience as a fundraiser in the voluntary and statutory sectors. Penny’s experience spans various trust and corporate fundraising roles for a wide range of charities, local authorities and community groups, including Project Manager of the UNICEF/British Airways Change for Good appeal and Payroll Giving consultant to the Marks & Spencer Children’s Promise campaign.
Phillip Mind, Acting Director at The Giving Campaign, said: “Although Payroll Giving is the fastest growing tax-effective giving method – raising £86 million for charities over the last financial year alone – currently only around 1% of employers have a scheme. We’re delighted to
have two new members of staff on board to boost momentum in this area. We’d like to see over £100 million per year raised through the scheme.”
Phillip Mind is Acting Director at The Giving Campaign while Amanda Delew is
absent on maternity leave. Amanda will return to work in February 2004.
