Were you one of the 68,799 people who donated their electronic change in the week leading up to Christmas? If so, you helped to raise nearly £18,000 in just a few days. More than half of that came from customers shopping at The Entertainer, the first retailer to introduce Pennies at high street shop tills. Customers at Zizzi restaurants were also particularly generous in the run up to Christmas.
The busy Christmas shopping season may be over but we’re working hard to get more retailers on board so you can keep donating your pennies throughout 2012!
TrainPal customers can now make a voluntary charity donation when booking train tickets, thanks to a new partnership with fintech charity Pennies. The initiative supports Railway 200’s ‘Trips Change Lives’ campaign, helping raise funds for charities as part of the UK’s railway bicentenary celebrations.
The Pennies Awards 2026 are open for nominations, recognising the merchants, partners, charities and individuals helping to turn small donations into big impact across the UK.
Pennies is proud to have won the Retail Systems Awards 2026 – Community and Social Impact in Retail award, recognising our partnership with B&Q and Verifone. Together, we embedded effortless giving into the checkout experience, raising £1 million in under five months to support Shelter and the B&Q Foundation.
