Payroll for charities
Reducing payroll risk for charities, not-for-profit and community interest organisations
Trust us to provide a safe pair of hands for your payroll
As a charity, not-for-profit or third sector organisation every penny counts, so keeping control of costs is essential.
Outsourcing could be seen as an unnecessary expense. But, in the case of payroll, the cost of getting it wrong can be far greater.
Charity payrolls can get complicated, and mistakes and non-compliance can occur if handled by an inexperienced team.
Why is outsourcing the safe option?
One way to avoid the headaches of payroll compliance is to outsource to an experienced payroll provider.
A partner who has the experience to deal with the complexities of charity payrolls such as:
- Handling lots of small employee payments
- Managing temporary contract workers
- Dealing with high staff turnover
- Ensuring National Minimum Wage levels
- Managing non-UK national workers
- Processing commission-based fundraising
- Allocating payrolls to specific funds
- Paying Trustee expenses.
25% discount for charities
As part of our ethos of ‘do the right thing, always’, we believe that the good that charities do should be recognised.
So, to show our appreciation of the amazing work you guys do every day, we are doing our bit by discounting our price by a whopping 25% for UK-based charities.
No limited-time promotion. No gimmick.
If you are looking for ways to ensure more of you money goes to providing your core services, this is one saving you should be considering.
Our commitment to supporting charities
We believe in making a difference. In our time working in payroll, we’ve had the privilege of working with countless charities across the UK and witnessing their incredible work.
When we set up Ascend Payroll, we were determined and committed to giving back in a way that aligns with our values and expertise. Our work with charities is part of this initiative.
Why we're giving back
Charities play a vital role in addressing some of society’s most pressing issues. However, we understand that the resources needed to provide core services can often stretch thin. That’s why we’re stepping in to do our part. By offering our services at reduced fees, we aim to empower charities to focus more on what matters most: making a difference while doing the right thing.
This initiative is not just about providing support; it’s about acknowledging the hard work charities put in every single day. It’s our way of saying thank you and ensuring that the good they do continues to thrive.
How we support charities
1. Reduced fees
We offer our services at a heavily discounted rate, allowing charities to maximise their budgets and direct more funds toward their missions.
2. Customised solutions
We tailor our services to meet each charity’s unique needs, ensuring they receive the support they deserve from a UK-based payroll provider.
3. Long-term partnerships
Our goal is to build lasting relationships with charities, providing consistent support over time and adapting as their needs evolve. We want to have long-term partnerships with clients.
Working with charities
Supporting charities is more than a business initiative for us; it’s a core part of who we are.
With three decades of experience working alongside charitable organisations, we’ve seen first-hand the challenges they face and the incredible resilience they show. By giving back, we hope to play a small role in amplifying their efforts and driving meaningful change.
Together, we can create a brighter future.
If you’re a charity looking for support, we’d love to hear from you. Let’s collaborate to make a bigger impact.
