This week we held our 2024 AGM and an amazing time for the team to get together, catch up, and celebrate our great year at Hands On Payroll Giving. In our 30th year, our AGM is a unique opportunity to collectively reflect on the past year and be grateful to all our colleagues and partners who have made it so successful. Huge thanks to Together for Animals, Charity for Civil Servants and Alcohol Change UK for coming along to present to our team.

Reminder: Are you a small charity? We can help you! We love supporting charities of all sizes and are really proud to support such a diverse range of causes through the work that we do. We understand that small charities sometimes feel stretched in terms of budget and resources and that it's hard to engage with new ways to make money. If you're a small charity that would like to expand your fundraising efforts - have you considered Payroll Giving as an option? Charities we've loved supporting so far include: Happy Days Children's Charity, Barking Mad Dog Rescue & FirstLight Trust. We have free resources to support small charities specifically. We want to ensure Payroll Giving is an option for everyone in the charity sector and we think everyone deserves this support. If you're a small charity leader or know an organisation that could benefit, please get in touch with us at [email protected] to chat about how we can work together.

Today is World Energy Conservation Day. This is a day to raise awareness about the importance of conserving energy and to promote cost-efficient energy production. We all know it's important to save energy. But it's tricky to change habits and to keep this top of mind. Energy Saving Trust rounded up some great quick tips to save energy, including tips like turning your TV off from standby and completely filling your dishwasher. Small changes can make a big impact!
