Give As You Earn Case Study

Under our uniquely generous ‘double matched’ Give As You Earn scheme, we donate an additional £2 for every £1 given by staff, to match individual monthly staff donations of up to £100.

In 2001, staff donated over £1.4m from their pay and this was matched with a further £2.5m from the Group.

Among the 11,000 employees who are giving direct from their pay each month are staff from the Royal Bank’s Lanarkshire Retail Office. Their donations, together with the Group’s double matching, are benefiting St Andrew’s Hospice in Airdrie.



Mary Carter, branch manager of the Bank’s East Kilbride branch was one of the local staff who signed up, “St Andrew’s Hospice is a high profile charity in Lanarkshire. I think it’s important to support local causes, and the double matching Give As You Earn scheme is a fantastic way I can do this”.

Karen McFadyen, Regional Manager Lanarkshire, said “With the Group’s double matching, St Andrew’s Hospice is set to receive £50,000 each year from staff in Lanarkshire through their payroll giving – enough to fund the hospice for two weeks.”
