As we enter 2017, there is no denying change is ahead. This change will be felt across retail, payments, tech and charity, as explored by the Pennies team in the latest in our Viewpoint seriers.
Pennies’ mission is a simple one: to help raise more money for UK charities. After five and a half years, we’re collecting more micro-donations than ever, reaching more charities and making a bigger difference with every click, tap and press of the ‘donate’ button.
The British public now donates to charity every 3 seconds – through ad hoc giving when paying by card, says Pennies the digital charity box.
Pennies and payments partner Verifone today announced that their partnership has helped to unlock £1million for UK charities. Retailers using Pennies via Verifone’s devices and managed payment service include ASK Italian, Zizzi, and Evans Cycles.
Every year over 255,000 patients visit Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). These patients are young children who are suffering from rare, complex and often life-threatening conditions, from across the country and abroad. Nearly 700 families will visit GOSH today, in need of desperate help.
