The PayBack Foundation - Ceridian's own UK charity

The Ceridian PayBack Foundation makes a real difference for disadvantaged children. Recognising the impact that offices like ours can have on neighbourhoods where service providers, high-tech companies and newer small businesses have replaced the traditional industrial employers, Ceridian sought a way to 'pay back' into the local community and in 1997 created the PayBack Foundation to help disadvantaged children who live or go to school close to our offices.

PayBack aims to support named individuals as part of an ongoing and long-term relationship.

Since its creation, PayBack has funded over 170 deserving youngsters through grants totalling over £190,000. Read about Jake and Rebecca's stories; just two of the children PayBack has helped.

Jake's Story

Jake is an 8-year-old boy who suffers from cerebral palsy. Unfortunately, he's unable to use his own voice to talk about his favourite things. He needed a hi-tech communication aid to give him a voice.

PayBack was happy to help by donating the money needed to purchase a Tellus Communication Aid. And what a difference it has a made. He's now able to chat with his family and friends, play guessing games and answer questions in class. Jake's parents, Tracey and Michael, are delighted and say that now with 'Tellus' he just doesn't stop talking!

Rebecca's Story

Ten-year-old Rebecca has severe walking difficulties that restrict her movement. Despite this, she attends a mainstream primary school and really enjoys riding her specialist tricycle on visits to the local shops with her mum. The independence afforded by the bike boosts her self-esteem and provides important exercise.

However, she had now outgrown the bike and faced either staying at home or relying on a wheelchair when her mum went shopping in future. Fortunately, her physiotherapist approached us and PayBack agreed to fund a replacement specialist tricycle. To everyone's delight, the bike rides are back and her beaming smile says it all.
