Workplace Giving

Unite your staff and colleagues with KYDS Workplace Giving and help ensure the young people of today can reach their full potential tomorrow.

A workplace giving program is an easy way to make a regular, pre-tax donation to KYDS from your pay, reducing your taxable income. Your organisation might use workplace giving platforms like Good2Give, JustGiving and GoodCompany, or you can simply contact your payroll department to get started. It’s easy – just let them know how much you would like to donate to KYDS and your employer will provide your donation to us each payday.

Why not amplify your impact and encourage your organisation to support KYDS through corporate donations? They could even set up an ongoing program to match donations made by staff – this might be dollar for dollar, double matching or matching to a capped amount!

Leave a bequest

One hundred years from now it won't matter what my bank balance was, the sort of home I lived in, or the car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.

By leaving a gift to KYDS in your will, you can help us with future planning and ensure that free, conﬁdential counselling is available to the young people of tomorrow. Any amount you leave to KYDS will be gratefully received and will help transform the lives of future generations. If you have named KYDS in your will, you are under no obligation to inform us of your decision. However, if you do advise us of your intentions, it may help us to fully understand your wishes. We value your future support and would like to personally thank you for your gift. You can let us know here.
