Northern Ireland Charities Together
Donate to six local causes
As an employee, you can donate to six local causes with just one donation from your payroll. The charities that make up Northern Ireland Charities Together (NICT) include: Age NI, Cancer Focus Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland Chest Heart & Stroke, RNIB (sight loss charity), Childline/NSPCC and Young Lives vs Cancer (previously known as CLIC Sargent).
Giving a regular gift through your payroll is easy to set up, tax efficient and it makes a huge difference to the lives of thousands of people across Northern Ireland who face daily challenges.
Simply download our form here, fill it in and give it to your HR department. Remember that payroll giving is tax efficient, so a £10 monthly donation from you is only £8 a month from your monthly pay (based on average salary).
All donations support people living in Northern Ireland.

“Paul’s House was just like our home - it felt comfortable and safe.” ![]()
![]()
When three-year-old Daithi from Londonderry was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, his parents were faced with a frequent 80-mile trip to hospital in Belfast for chemotherapy, surgery and immunotherapy. ![]()
![]()
His mum Gemma said: “For two months it was torture. We were going back and forth to the hospital and stuck in traffic sometimes for two and a half hours, or an hour and a half on a good day. It was so hard seeing Daithi lying there in hospital.” ![]()
Gemma and dad Connor both had to stop work when Daithi was diagnosed. ![]()
![]()
Gemma said: “I’m a hairdresser and Connor is a civil servant – it was just tools down as soon as Daithi was diagnosed. You just get on with it, in that moment your life just completely changes – it’s absolutely traumatising. ![]()
![]()
When Connor had to go back to work, Gemma stayed at Paul’s House, Young Lives vs Cancer’s Home from Home in Belfast, so she could be close to Daithi in hospital. ![]()
“I didn’t know the Home or Young Lives vs Cancer existed. We just couldn’t have done it without Paul’s House. ![]()
![]()
“There were times when it was so hard, and Daithi’s grandmas came for emotional support and stayed at Paul’s House with us. They made us home cooked dinners, making us normal meals and doing our washing while I was in hospital with Daithi close by. ![]()
![]()
“Daithi also came and stayed at Paul’s House when he could. Once he was there, he had the same room and would have his own comforts. It was just like our home, and it felt comfortable and safe. We met another family from Derry which comforted us too.” ![]()
![]()
During Daithi’s treatment, he rarely went home as he was so unwell and the family ended up staying at Paul’s House for over a year. ![]()
![]()
Daithi, now five, is having maintenance treatment to prevent relapse. He has started school on a reduced timetable. His cancer treatment has had some long-term effects on his health. ![]()
![]()
“People don’t realise there are longer side effects going on post-treatment. Daithi is having trouble with his feet and may have to have surgery on them at some point. Everything he went through affected his heart as well and his hearing, and he now needs hearing aids. ![]()
![]()
“He is shy, but so crazy when he is comfortable and loves the craic and playing with train tracks.” ![]()
