GIVING CONSORTIUMS ENCOURAGED BY GRANTS |

A
consortium of four Yorkshire charities has been launched to encourage local
businesses to set up payroll giving schemes for their employees.
Set up by the Diocese of Sheffield, Charities Together is one of six start-up
charity consortiums to which The Giving Campaign is awarding grants in a
bid to help smaller groups collaborate on payroll giving.
Karen Hubbard, fundraising manager for the Diocese of Sheffield, says: "Employers
sometimes find that dealing with a large number of charities is time consuming
and can be confusing.
"Charities Together represents four charities working on projects ranging
from neighbourhood regeneration to helping people who are going through
divorce and separation.
"By dealing with Charities Together, employers only have to work with
one organisation, rather than a representative from each charity, yet can
still offer choice to their employees."
The Giving Campaign has published a free toolkit with guidelines about setting
up a charity consortium and tips for gaining the support of local businesses.
