Pennies on the BBC – “Year of the Micro” and Why It Matters
Pennies CEO, Alison Hutchinson CBE, joined Sally Bundock on the BBC's World Business Report on 24th March 2022, to discuss the opportunities we all have to give a few digital pennies to charity – as they add up to enormous impact and vital income for the UK charity sector.
We’ll forgive you for not catching us live at 5.45am this morning, but we were thrilled to be invited onto the BBC World Business Report – also aired on BBC News – to talk about the power of micro-donations.
CEO Alison Hutchinson CBE spoke to Sally Bundock, BBC World News Financial Journalist, about the opportunities we all have, even as belts understandably tighten and household costs rise, to give a few digital pennies to charity – as they add up to enormous impact and vital income for the UK charity sector.
“I know during these challenges, that’s when people want to give more – even just a penny. And what’s really great is, with micro-donations it’s not just your penny, these pennies all add up and they add up quickly… So you might not have a lot of your own, but if you give just a penny – you can really make a difference.”

We talked recently about 2022 being “the year of the micro” – and as some of our partners switch their support to the growing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, Pennies is testament to the power of “micro”-giving but big impact – where and when it matters.
You can watch the interview again while it remains on BBC iPlayer, and Alison’s piece starts at 19mins 18 seconds in.
