And this is where you come in...
It would be a great honour and
reflection of the work the Education Service has achieved over the
last ten years, for you to sign up to the Payroll Give Scheme for
the Anytime, Anywhere Learning Initiative of the Birmingham
e-Learning Foundation. I would then have the satisfaction of
knowing that your contribution will benefit Young Learners across
the City.
Payroll Give Scheme
It’s the most effective
way to support the Birmingham e-Learning Foundation’s
Anytime, Anywhere Learning Initiative.
There are many deserving
causes - we all have our favourites - however,
Professor Tim Brighouse, Birmingham’s Chief Education Officer
has nominated a registered charity, namely the Birmingham
e-Learning Foundation, of which he is a Trustee.
It’s so easy to sign up...
Anyone on PAYE or payroll
system can join - even pensioners. You can download
an application form from the Documents
section of this site for completion
and return it to your payroll department.
You can give as little as
25p per week and each £1.00 you give will
cost you only 78p! The remaining 22p that would have gone
to the Taxman goes instead to the Birmingham e-Learning
Foundation charity.
The Government will also pay
a 10% supplement for three years on
all donations from 6th April 2000 to 5th April 2003.
The donation scheme is
operated by Charities Trust - a registered
non-profit making charity; and the second largest Payroll
Giving Charity in the UK - handling over 700 employers, 100,000
donors and 2,500 charities.
To help towards the cost of
processing and distributing donations, an
administration charge is made of 25p per donation.
Alternatively, you may wish
to make a single one-off donation - Gift
Aid, to the Birmingham e-Learning Foundation by
completing the Gift Aid Declaration, also available from the
Documents
section of this site and returning it to Charities
Trust, 14th Floor, Sir John Moores Building, 100
Old Hall Street, Liverpool, L70 1AB.
