If nothing changes, one in two of us will be impacted by dementia, either through caring for a loved one with the condition, developing it ourselves or both.
But there is hope.
With your support through Payroll Giving, we can provide regular funding sources that enable scientists to commit to the long term research that will accelerate progress towards a cure.
The benefits
Payroll Giving is the most tax efficient way to give. You donate from your salary before tax is deducted, but Alzheimer’s Research UK receives the tax relief too. You give less, we receive more.
For example, a £10 monthly donation to Alzheimer’s Research UK costs the standard taxpayer only £8, with the remaining £2 added through tax relief.
| Amount you give each payday | Cost to a standard 20% taxpayer | Cost to a 40% taxpayer | Cost to a 45% taxpayer |
|---|---|---|---|
| £10 | £8 | £6 | £5.50 |
| £30 | £24 | £18 | £16.50 |
Many employers also offer matched giving, which can match or even double your monthly gift at no extra cost to you. Check with your employer to see if they participate.
The impact
When you choose to support Alzheimer’s Research UK through a regular payroll donation, your gifts will help accelerate progress towards a cure.
