Tailor-made donations from Gieves & Hawkes custmers help keep British craft alive

In November 2012, bespoke tailor Gieves & Hawkes began offering Pennies in their world-famous store at No. 1 Savile Row. By offering their customers the chance to donate 75p when paying by card, thousands of pounds has been raised for the tailor’s two charity partners, Walking With The Wounded and the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust (QEST), an organisation that helps craftspeople in Britain to achieve their potential and contribute to a thriving craft sector.

Each month, more and more charities start using Pennies in their own shops, raising important additional funds for their vital work. One of these is Age UK, the country’s largest charity dedicated to helping everyone make the most of later life, providing services and support at a national and local level to inspire, enable and support older people.
