Governance
Structure and Management
The charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator
and follows the Code of Fundraising Practice and the
Fundraising Promise. The charity's digital donation
model is designed to respect donor privacy.. Pennies
does not collect or hold personal dats relating lo
individual donors and our retail partners undertake not
lo conta¢l them about their donabons.
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. Pennies is a pressure-
free way lo donate to charity prompted by technology,
without the need for a person lo make the ask, allowing
the consumer to confidentially choose to (lonale
anonymously, as no personal data is asked for or
colJe¢ted.
Further details on governance arrangements, board
composition and risk management can be found in the
Slruclure, Govemance and Management section.
Environmental
The trustees consider that Pennies has a low
environmental impact as a digilal-only initiative that
does not require the manufacture or transwrt of
physical goods. 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 b￿adth 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.

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.

Matters which are reserved to the Board include

as part of the development ofa Trew back-office
system, which will further reduce the relian

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 Micr￿donating 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.

This is managed by monitoring both donation
levels and payment patterns for signs of

sponsors, scheduling regular project

a pipeline of other merchants who could fill the

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.
Recognising the important role of merchants and
payment seNice providers in enabling us to raise
money and make grant payments to other charib'es, the

Achievement and Performance
2025 was a milestone year for Pennies, with significant
growth and several important deVelOp￿￿nIs..
Pennies celebrated its 1 Slh anniversary,
having raised £75m in donations from more
than 300 million micro-donations since
launching in 2010.
2025 was a strong year for Pennies wrth
£15.6m mised from 60.4 million donations.
representing a 47.60/0 increase in donation
value and a 37.60/0 increase in volume from
2024.
Strategy and Plans for Future Periods
We are working with our existing merchant partners lo
increase donation levels by improving donation
conversion levels and exploring new shopping channels
where Pennies is not currently offered.
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.
Since 2010, Pennies has supported more than
1,110 Gharilies.
Our overall aim remains to grow Pennies micro-
donations signifieanfjy by expanding consumer access
and increasing engagement, while raising awareness of
the resulting positive impact.

indirect impact on the financial statements are those in

company is in compliance with these laws and
regulations and inspected correspondence wrth
regulatory aulhorilies.
