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.
Britain’s largest toy retailer, The Entertainer, has raised £4 million for four leading UK children’s hospitals through its long-standing partnership with micro-donation charity Pennies. The milestone means Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Bristol Children’s Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity have each received more than £1 million to support vital care, specialist equipment and family services.
Pennies announces the appointment of new members to its Advisory Board alongside newly appointed Ambassadors, as momentum behind digital giving continues to grow across sectors.
