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.
Pennies has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointments of Marian Duxbury as Chief Finance Officer and Jim Dolan as Chief Transformation and Technology Officer, while Co-Founder and Finance Director Peter Nugent will retire later this year and remain closely involved as a trustee of the charity.
Debenhams Group announces it has raised over £260,000 with micro-donation charity Pennies, as it expands partnership to other Group brands, including Karen Millen and boohooMAN, strengthening its collective support for critical charitable causes.
Pennies, the trusted leader in micro-donations, will return as the official Gold Charity Partner for Retail Technology Show 2026 on 22-23 April at ExCeL London, marking 10 years of partnership, during which more than £65 million has been raised for charities through digital micro-donations.
