Payroll Giving FAQs

How can I set up a gift to Dogs Trust through my payroll?

The Human Resources department at your work should have a form that you can complete but if not you can simply download our payroll giving form. Once you’ve filled in your details, please give a copy to your HR department and send a copy to Dogs Trust at 17 Wakley Street, London EC1V 7RQ.

How long will it take for my donation to be set up?

It takes approximately three months from completing the form for Dogs Trust to receive your first donation but thereafter we receive your donations monthly. NB: if you are sponsoring a dog we shall send your sponsor’s welcome pack on receipt of your form and not the donation.

Will my donation continue automatically if I move employers?
