Micro-donations matter.
Pennies is working hard to unlock the power of micro-donations. These funds are needed right now.
We’re here to support charities, retailers and communities in desperate need, and we urge everyone who can, to join in.
£23,000,000 raised for charity so far
simply by giving via Pennies when paying digitally
Over 94,000,000 small change donations
made by consumers via Pennies to date
We could raise £1billion every year
if every adult in the UK gave just 35p a week
Retailers join
Give your customers the chance to make their pennies count for your chosen charity. We work closely with your payment provider to enable Pennies across multichannels, in-store, online, or app.
Customers donate
Customers are prompted by the card machine, website or app checkout to donate a few pence. It’s a yes or no choice, and neither Pennies nor the chosen charity receive any personal data.
Charities receive donations
Pennies collects and distributes the money digitally donated at the checkout. We make those pennies count for registered charities all across the UK, as chosen by the retailer.
Technology unlocks giving
Our payment and technology partners ensure retailers can enable the digital charity box, and across multi-channels. We are always keen to unlock more potential for UK charities.
Micro-donations matter for mental health
This week has been Mental Health Awareness Week, and Pennies wanted to highlight a few charities, supported by our partnering retailers, who work this week and every week to support and improve our mental health.

Pennies, not pounds
We know that people prefer to give in smaller amounts, but these pennies add up
It's flexible

It’s always the customer’s choice
To give or not to give, it’s always up to the customer
No data collected
There is no data collection – and therefore no charity follow up
