Alison has been the Chief Executive of Pennies since 2008, two years before it launched. Since then Pennies, the electronic charity box has grown into a popular way for consumers to give a few pence to charity. Alison was previously Chief Executive of FTSE financial services company Kensington Group plc and has also held senior positions in Barclaycard and international technology group IBM.
A penny really doesn’t sound like much does it? Especially in these hectic few days before Christmas when the receipts are adding up and we are all rushing around trying to get those last few presents. The humble penny seems quite insignificant. But just imagine if that extra penny from your granny’s £6.99 slippers or 20p from your niece’s £10.80 trendy t-shirt could be put to good use helping charities?
