The Chsrity is a prThiate company limited by guarantee, intorporated in England and Wales. Further details of registration with the Charity Commission for England and Wales and with other relevant regulatory authorities, including Republic of Ireland, and the Isle of Man, are provided on page 4. During the year, the Charity completed ils deregislralion from the Jersey Financial Services Commission. as this regislrab'on was no longer required. As a technology driven Charity, we maintain robust controls to ensure security and reliability of our systems. Our ba¢k4)ffice systems are hosted on externally managed cloud platforms and are backed up according lo industry standards. We conduct an annual review of our infraslruclure and implement any necessary enhancements to ensure systems remain secure, resilient, and reliable. safeguarding the data we handle on behalf of our partners and donors. The Charity's governing docurnenl is the Articles of Association adopted on 6 November 2007 and amended on 12 August 2019 (the Conslilution). Trustees consider the principles set out in the Charity Govem8nce Code, refreshed in November 2025, when carrying out their duties. Annually the Charity prepares an evaluation of how thÈ Charity applies the Code's principles and comMended practices. The evaluation in 2025 ghowed that most of the Code's recommended good practices are followed. When reviewing the board effectiveness feedback, the trustees identified a requirement to appoint a Iruslee with parbcular experience in payments and technology. A recruitment process commenced and the trustees were delighted to welcome Paul Bain as a trustee on 2 April 2025. We will continue to use the code as a tool to support continuous improvement as the Charity develops. and lo focus on the areas for improvement and further implementation. The liability of the members is limited, and each member agrees to contribute up to £10 in the event of the Charity being wound up. The Iruslees are the only members of the Charity and they automatically become members on appointment to the Board of Trustees (Board). The Charity is registered with the Fundraising R8gulalor and has Committed lo follow the Code of Fundraising Pracb"ce and the Fundraising Promise. In 2025 we received a total of 5 complaints 12024.. 4 complainlsl which is extremely low in the context of the total number of donations for the year which was 60.4 million (2024.. 43.9 million). vve responded to, and resolved, each Complaint with the complainants.

Further details on governance arrangements, board composition and risk management can be found in the Slruclure, Govemance and Management section.

In addition. we occupy a single office lo¢alion easily accessible by public transport, which was refurbished in 2019 with the lalesl energyefficient heating and lighth'ng We are continuing with a hybrid working pallern, introduced in 2021, which means that fewer days are worked in the office, thereby saving a significant portion of staff travel time and the impact that has on the environment.

Trustees The Constitution requires al least three trustees but the is no maximum ntjmber. As set out in the Constitution the trustees have the power al any lime lo appoint any person who is able and willing lo be a Iruslee. Trustees are appointed for an initial term of three years and may be reappointed by the trustees for further terms of three years. In the event that a Trustee has served in office for three Consecutive terms of three years, such Trustee may be reappointed by the Trustees ft)r further terms of three years after the end of their third term in office if 750h of the Trustees resolve that they are reappointed, taking account of the Trustee's contribution to the Board as a whole. This flexibility is of great value lo the Charity in ils still relalwely early years, and in a period of continual rapid growth and development, having a consistency of key board members is very welcome. When recruiting new trustees, the Charity aims lo attract a badth of skills and diversity commensurate with our stage of development as a growing charity. Board appointments are based on merit and whether a candidate has the skills and knowledge to be an effective trustee and has the ability to support the ambitious donation growth targets sel by the Board of Trustees over the short lo medium term. The trustees, who are collectively responsible for the Chanty's governance, for ensuring delivery of our charitable objectives and for setting our strategic diwlion, mel four limes during the year. At each meeting the trustees received a govemance update and discussed the implications for the Charity. The Audit and Risk Committee, which mel htr¢e during the year, has delegated responsibility on behalf of the Board for.. reviewing the financial statements and the application of appropriate accounting policies.. and providing oversight of the external audit process by monitoring and reviewing ils effeGlivene85, independence and objeclNIty- Matters which are reserved to the Board include appointing the Chief Executive, agreeing our strategy, plans and budget, appointing external auditors and approving key policies such as the risk management and investment policies.

The trustees would like to thank our volunteers who support our day-to48y activities such as the members of our three advisory boards who also give their lime voluntarily lo bring their industry experience to bear in supporting the development of our strategy and the pursuit of our objectives. While the value of this contribution is not reco9nised in the financial Statements, in accordance wrth Charities SORP, it is important to the charity's work. 1. Key person dependency principally the unplanned exit or long-term absence of key members of the Pennies team who p055ess charity-critical abilities and knowledge. This 1$ managed by maintaining an attractive remuneration and flexible working policy commensurate with Pennies, size and sector. sharing knowledge across the team, ensuring adequate notice periods are in place in employee contracts and the Implementation of systems to cenlralise and store key contact data and communications. In addition, we are in the prctess of aulomats'ng our core pr(esseS as part of the development ofa Trew back-office system, which will further reduce the relian on key personnel. Further detail about the new system is given in this section of the report. Pay Policy for Senior Staff The trustees consider that the Board and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of Pennies responsible for directing, controlling, and running it on a day-104ay basis. All trustees give their lime freely and no trustee received remuneration in the year. 2. Other micro-donalion schemes - no entity has own8rship of Micrdonating and there are other propositions in the marketplace. Although we welGome any initiative that aligns with our objective to maximise charitable giving, too many disparate miero4onaling schemes could start to impact on our operating model and poor executions could be confused with Pennies and inadvertently cause reputational damage. Senior staff pay is reviewed annually. Wherever possible, we benchmark salaries paid for comparable roles in the charitable sector adjusting for any additional responsibilities. Pensions and Other Benefrts We have a workplace pension scheme and make the minimum statutory contributions for all enrolled employees. Also 4 employees have employer pension contributions p8id by us as part of a salary sacrifice scheme12024'. 41. This is managed by promoting the value-add and CSR benefits that the Charity brings to both technology partners and retailers through ils experliselsupport. We continue lo develop the Pennies brand with consumers as a trusted and primary micro-donation organisation and transparent charity supporting the wider charity sector through the social impact we enable. It is also worth noting that Pennies donations sb"Il represent less than 0.2°h of all card transactions made in the UK demonstrating the growth potential In this market. There were no additional benefits provided to staff in the year Risk Management The 8oard recognises ils responsibilities for ensuring that an appropriate framework is in place to identify, monitor and miligale risks lo our objectives and has accordingly adopted a Risk Management Policy_ The risk management register is reviewed at least annually by the Board and any issues which could impact the Chanty, including any reputational implications, are raised and discussed by the Trustees at meetings during Ihe year. The register identifies the major risks lo which the Charity is exposed together with the actions and systems in place lo miligale or reduce the exposure to those risks. 3. Cyber-attack - given our reliance on digital technology ihere is an omnl-present risk of such an allack, eounlered by the measures we have in place lo defend our systems and the fact we do not hold any personal or card data which partially devalues its worth to attackers. An attack on us is more likely to be malicious behaviour in an attempt to prevent us from operating. The review carried out in 2025 identified that the key risks are..

Investment Policy trustees invite them as appropriate to nominate charities to benefit from a major proportion of the funds they Our investment policy is lo retain funds in a liquid form to facilitste meeting the costs incurred in the furtherance of our objectives and lo enable us lo make timely grant payments to nominated and approved charities. Our funds are therefore either held in a current account or in liquid inlerest-bearing bank deposit accounts with our bankers, HSBC.

These afways include complying with applicable legislation and the provision of impact information in respect of the grants. All grants made by us are to charities registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales or the equivalent in Scotland, Northem Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Jersey, or the Isle of Man. The aims of the harilies must fall within, or be analogous to, the descriptions of charrtable purposes as set out in the CharilEs AGI 2011 and they must be able lo demonslrale public benefit as defined by the Charity Commission of England and Vvales. Reserves Policy and Going Conrn The Iruslees are aware of the requirement for charities lo manage the level of reserves that they hold and lo adopt a policy which determines the level of reserves which they believe would be appropriate lo maintain_ At the end of the year the balance of unreslricled funds held had increased slightly over the previous year at £1.66m 12024. £1.49ml. which is slightly above the target level lo maintain a general reserve of unrestricted funds equal lo at least nine months, operational expenditure on a forward-looking basis, but is expected to be more in line with the target du6 to the plaftned increase in operating costs in 2026. Funding is not available to individuals or unregistered bodies, and we will not support charities having the principal objective of the advancement of religion or political activism. Charities delivering a wide range of services, acrogs a breadth of causes, were supported during the year. Our website Ihtt s'.11 ennies or .ukll has information about the charrties that we have supported and continue to support. Note 4 to the accounts also gives details of all charities that received a grant in excess of £5,000 during the year or previous year. The trustee$ have considered the current level of reserves, and the evident sustainability of the Pennies model. They have also reviewed available liquid resources in the context of the operating and spending plans over the next 18-month period, together wrth the ability to raise further funds or curtail spending if required. Based on these considerations, the trustees believe that we have sufficient financial resources lo ontinue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that we are well placed to manage our operating risks successfully. We require all the benefitting charities, on request, to provide representative information about how grants are used and the difference they make lo their beneficiaries. The information is published on our website and also regularly disseminated using social and other media. This includes working with benefitting charities who themselves are grant makers to understand and monitor how PennSes' grants have been used in the furtherance of their objectives. Further infomialion is available in the published accounts of the benefitting charities. The trustees have therefore continued lo adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial Slatemenls. There is no material uncertainty about our ability to continue as a going concern. Grant Making Policy The Board has full responsibility for the distribution of all funds under its management.

We a also focLJSgd on growing Pennies donations by implementing the Pennies donation option with new merchants, across more sectors and channels. We continue lo develop new solutions lo create more opportunities, including Pennies API and cartridges for both in-slore and online donations and ensuring we stay aligned with emerging trends in the payments sector. Overthe next three years, we will also launch an agency strategy to drive further donations from online merchants. We launched in Spain with one of our partners, collecting over É18k, our first international launch outside of the Republic of Ireland. We welcomed Paul Bain to our Board of Trustees. Paul brings a wealth of experience from a decade-long career in technical solutions within the technology sector. In 2025 we invested In developing a new back- office systern to support our growth plans, enhancing our operational capabilities, and enabling us to lake advantage of modern technology platforms. Findings from the Pennies Consumer Survey 2025 showed that 51YD of UK consumers are now familiar with micro-donalions. We will strengthen our relationships with charities to support more effective impact storytelling and develop case studies demonstrating the benefits of Pennies micro-donalions. In 2026, we will transition to our newly developed back- office system, enhancing data analysis capabilities, operational resilience, and reF)Orting. We will also make significant investment in developing merchant and charity reporting portals to enable self-service access lo key data, supporting stronger engagement with partners and more timely insight into donation performance.
