20p Pennies at the Till
SuperValu and Centra added Pennies donation technology to 70 Northern Irish stores, giving card-paying customers the option to add 20p to their shop for Action Cancer. The simple till prompt turns everyday grocery trips into small, repeatable contributions, raising more than £180,000 after a six-store trial and helping fund mobile cancer screening services.
Why it worked: A frictionless 20p prompt at checkout plus hard early numbers (£180k, 900k donations) created a timely, data-led retail-tech charity story.
The lesson: Consider testing a tiny, opt-in add-on at point of payment, then pitch the rollout with concrete pilot results and a clear local impact.
