Pennies

A few pennies make a big difference

Pennies is the leading charity working to protect and grow micro-donations for organisations like Ramblers .Pennies allows you to donate as little as one penny to support Ramblers at checkout, so you can do your bit without breaking the bank. Together, these small donations add up to make big change.

Help spark a young person's love for exploring beyond the pavement. When you next shop at Runners Need, you can help young people discover there's a whole world of outdoor adventure waiting beyond their usual city routes.


What your pennies will help fund

We know lots of young people love being active but might never have thought about exploring trails, hills, or wilder places. That's why the Ramblers created the Out There Award, a brilliant training programme that's completely free, fun, and open to everyone, regardless of their fitness level or outdoor experience.

Your support will reach hundreds of young people and provides them with everything they need to start exploring, allowing them to discover new routes and running destinations they never knew existed.

Every penny really does count in getting more young people out there.

  • £2.79 pays for a compass and navigation timing card, helping someone explore and plan their own walks.  
  • £6 pays for a safety whistle and emergency survival blanket to keep young explorers safe. 
  • £43 provides young people with access to thousands of guided group walks and a Ramblers membership.
