RSA is proud to announce that we have been awarded the Platinum Payroll Giving Quality Mark. This is a government-backed accreditation recognising our support for charities through payroll giving. RSA qualified for the Platinum award thanks to the generosity of our people, and the match funding delivered by the business.

Since January, RSA employees have donated over £115,000 through our enhanced Give as You Earn (GAYE) scheme. This remarkable contribution was made possible by a significant boost in our matching program, which increased RSA's match donation limit from £10 to £50 per month – making us one of the most generous companies in the insurance sector.

What is Give As You Earn (GAYE)?

The GAYE scheme allows employees to donate to UK registered charities and good causes, tax-free, directly from their pay. They can start donating from as little as £4 per month. RSA matches these donations pound-for-pound up to £50 per month, maximising the impact of our employees' generosity.

RSA employees who take part in the GAYE scheme are key to helping the company in its mission to build stronger communities.

We recently met with the Charities Aid Foundation to share insights on the GAYE scheme. Carole Morgan, CAF Senior Corporate Client Advisor, provided valuable information on how organisations can set up similar programs tailored to their needs.

Really recommend joining the GAYE scheme - this is such a great opportunity to give to charities of your choice and so easy to manage. I regret not signing up to it sooner and since I did so, I’ve been able to donate to some local charities which has been brilliant. If you’ve been thinking about it, please go ahead and give it a go, it’s so worthwhile.

RSA is proud of this award, and we remain committed to supporting our employees in their charitable giving efforts. By working together, we believe we can create a lasting positive impact and help build resilient communities for the future.
