Year after year we keep charity efforts high on our agenda

2018 saw activpayoll take part in a range of events and challenges to raise vital funds for Maggie's, Friends of Anchor, Charlie House and Sands Lothians.

We are dedicated not only to meeting the needs of our customers, but giving back to those in the communities in which we operate. Our Aberdeen and Edinburgh offices took part in a range of events in 2018, some we’d tackled before and some that were new for 2018! Events included Maggie’s Culture Crawl, Glack Attack, a tandem skydive, an abseil and many more.
