"As a grassroots charity, we are so grateful for all the donations we receive. Every pound goes directly back into our programmes and helps us in our work to support young people to reengage and transform their lives, working with them to create paths to successful lasting futures. Regular donations like payroll giving are vital to help us plan ahead – thank you for signing up!"
Streets of Growth, Community Partner charity of St James St William
We are really proud to announce that Berkeley Group has been awarded the Diamond Payroll Giving Quality Mark from Charities Aid Foundation, for 2024-2025. This award recognises Berkeley Group as one of the top 2% of employers using the Give As You Earn scheme with CAF.
27% of Berkeley staff currently give through the Group’s payroll giving scheme, providing a regular and reliable source of income for their chosen charity. This allows organisations like Streets of Growth to forward plan and offer sustainable support services in their communities.
We are grateful to Berkeley colleagues who have signed up to the scheme; your regular contribution has helped Berkeley Group to earn national recognition for its payroll giving efforts.
For any colleagues who have not yet signed up, it’s easy to do so. Our Give As You Earn scheme lets you donate to any charity or charities you care about. Donations are taken from your salary pre-tax, so you give more for less. If you give to one of the Foundation's partner charities, your donation is also match funded - so the charity receives double! Additional details can be found on the Berkeley intranet.
