Mewburn Ellis has been awarded a Silver Payroll Giving Quality Mark (PGQM), recognising our commitment to building a culture where giving back is part of how we work.
The award celebrates the success of our Give As You Earn (GAYE) programme and reflects the growing number of colleagues across the firm choosing to support charities and causes that matter to them through payroll giving.
The Payroll Giving Quality Mark, administered by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), recognises organisations that encourage charitable giving through payroll and make it easy for employees to donate directly from their salary. Payroll giving provides charities with a reliable source of income, helping them plan and maximise their impact.
This recognition reflects our broader commitment to supporting communities, creating positive social impact and empowering our people to contribute to causes they are passionate about. Through initiatives including payroll giving, fundraising events, volunteering opportunities and our charity partnerships, we continue to find meaningful ways to make a difference beyond the workplace.

As we continue to grow our charitable initiatives and encourage wider participation, we remain committed to supporting the causes that matter most to our people and making a lasting impact in the communities where we live and work.
