Pennies

Transforming young lives through the love of snow

We’ve always been there to gear you up for your mountain adventures. But we also recognise that not everyone has the same access to the slopes, equipment, or experiences that inspire a love for snow.

That’s why we’ve teamed up with Snow Camp, an organisation that utilises the power of Snowsports to improve the lives of undeserved young people living in the city. While we help you find the best gear for your next ski trip, Snow Camp is guiding these individuals on a journey of personal growth through Snowsports.

Together, we’re opening up new opportunities, one step (or ski) at a time.

Unlock their potential on the slopes + beyond

Snow Camp isn’t just about mastering the slopes, it offers a launchpad for life. As young people carve their way through indoor and outdoor challenges, they’re not just learning to ski or snowboard; they’re building confidence, boosting self-esteem, and unlocking their potential.

With mental health support keeping minds as sharp as their edges, and an award-winning apprenticeship programme ready to turbo-charge careers, Snow Camp propels youth from their first descent to soaring success, on and off the mountains.

And every penny really does count...

£100 funds a young person’s first ever experience on snow on Snow Camp’s two-day beginner First Tracks programme – away from the city and daily challenges they may be facing.

£500 contributes towards a young person’s first ever experience in the mountains on Snow Camp’s advanced 10-week Excel programme – a truly life-changing opportunity.

£2,500 funds one young person through Snow Camp’s full 12-month programme journey – a transformative experience that vastly increases the young person’s career prospects in the snowsports industry

What is Pennies?

Pennies is an award-winning fintech charity with an important mission: to protect and grow micro-donations, ensuring people have digital ways to keep donating the small sums of money that are so vital to charities.

As a trusted leader in digital micro-donations, Pennies has created a movement that encourages giving, offers businesses a powerful way to demonstrate social purpose, helps charities make a greater impact, and gives the public a way to donate without cash, as part of their daily lives.

In an increasingly cashless society, Pennies’ ‘digital charity box’ gives customers paying by card or digital wallet a convenient way to add a small donation to their purchase, when shopping with participating retailers. Whether in-store, online or in-app, it’s a simple, affordable, data-free way to donate, with 100% of funds raised going to charity.

Millions of people are now using the digital charity box. To date, Pennies has enabled more than 100 million micro-donations, raising millions of pounds in much-needed additional income for charities in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Together, payment providers, retailers and their customers are helping hundreds of charities make a meaningful difference to the causes and communities they serve.

Because micro-donations matter, now more than ever.
