The Institute of Fundraising has added a new ‘Platinum' level of Quality Mark to its Payroll Giving Quality Mark Awards. This is to recognise the very best employers who are promoting Payroll Giving to their staff. BEN is delighted to announce that ACF Car Finance, who had recently received the Gold Quality Mark, have been added to the small elite of UK organisations who have earned a Platinum award because they continually strived to increase donations to UK Charities through Payroll Giving.

The new Platinum level Quality Mark has been recently introduced to mark the 25th anniversary of the tax-effective method of giving direct from a salary and is held by 30 companies throughout the UK.

Peter Cottle, BEN's Head of Business Development says " It's fantastic to have such sustained and enthusiastic support from companies such as the Funding Corporation and ACF Finance and their staff, and we are very much aware of the personal commitment from people such as Jane and Nigel without which our job is so much the harder. This Platinum award is very much deserved."
