Charities Network

<BODY> <P ALIGN=CENTER><IMG SRC="graphics/charnet.gif" WIDTH=165 HEIGHT=89 ALIGN=bottom></P> <P>Charities NetWork promotes the work of humanitarian charities in the workplace. It is a registered charity itself.</P> <P>Our work has two main objectives.</P> <UL> <LI>The first is to make sure that people know what charities can do for those who need help. (You'd be amazed how many of us need the support of a charity at some time in our lives.) For example, you or one of your colleagues may have a relative who is partially sighted or blind. He or she may be unaware that there are many charities that can help. We can put that person's family in touch with the most appropriate charity. <LI>Our second objective is to encourage people at work to make charitable contributions through the payroll to the charities of their choice. </UL> <P>We make sure that every donation, however small, makes a positive difference to someone's life.</P> <P>Please find it in your heart to support us. If your contribution comes through the payroll you don't have to pay tax on it. This means that we receive £1.30 for every £1 that you give.</P> <P>It only takes a few minutes to set up, and even £1 a week can make a big difference.</P> <P>We'll give you all the help you need to help others.</P> <P>Payroll giving is the simplest and most effective way to give support. Because payroll giving is tax free, every pound you give to charity will actually only cost you 77 pence, if you pay tax at the basic rate, or only 60 pence if you are a higher rate tax payer. You can give up to £100 per month tax free.</P> <P>For more information on Charities Network, or how you could become a donor, please email us at <A HREF="mailto:payrollgiving@charitiesnetwork.org.uk">payrollgiving@charitiesnetwork.org.uk</A>, or write to us at:</P> <P ALIGN=CENTER>Charities Network, Springhill, Kennylands Road, Sonning Common, Reading RG4 9JT</P> <P ALIGN=CENTER><IMG SRC="graphics/phone.gif" WIDTH=24 HEIGHT=17 ALIGN=middle>Telephone: 0118 972 1421 <IMG SRC="graphics/phone.gif" WIDTH=24 HEIGHT=17 ALIGN=middle>Fax: 0118 972 1330</P> <P ALIGN=CENTER>or in Scotland:</P> <P ALIGN=CENTER>Charities NetWork, Pentlandfield Business Park, The Bush, Roslin, Midlothian EH25 9RE</P> <P ALIGN=CENTER><IMG SRC="graphics/phone.gif" WIDTH=24 HEIGHT=17 ALIGN=middle>Telephone: 0131 448 0931 <IMG SRC="graphics/phone.gif" WIDTH=24 HEIGHT=17 ALIGN=middle>Fax: 0131 448 0929</P> <P ALIGN=CENTER>Registered charity number 1064072.
