Foreign Currency Fundraising for Charities

A proven, powerful and zero-cost way to boost income — trusted by national charities, banks, airports, and supermarkets.

In today’s challenging fundraising environment, charities need innovative, dependable ways to raise income — without raising costs or staff workload. At Cash4Coins, we provide a powerful yet often overlooked fundraising method: collecting and exchanging foreign coins, banknotes, and withdrawn currency.

Our service is already helping charities across the UK raise millions of pounds — and we make the entire process effortless, cost-free, and fully supported by our in-house fundraising experts.

There’s hidden income everywhere — we help you unlock it

Did you know that UK households are hoarding billions of pounds in leftover foreign currency, old British and Irish notes, and outdated coins? These items are often forgotten in drawers, piggy banks, and wallets. Most people can’t exchange them at the bank — and they won’t use them abroad. But they still hold value.

That’s where you come in. With our help, you can turn this unused currency into a reliable income stream for your charity.

And unlike most other forms of fundraising, donors do not have to part with any of their current income. They are giving away something they no longer need. That’s why this model works so well — during times of financial hardship or prosperity alike.

Expert support every step of the way

We don’t just collect currency — we assist you in running a successful fundraising campaign from start to finish. Our experienced fundraising experts will guide you through the entire process, whether you’re a large national charity or a smaller local group.

From planning your campaign and setting up collection points to promoting the appeal and coordinating logistics, our team is here to help you succeed. We provide all this support free of charge, granting you access to years of expertise and proven strategies — at no cost.

We’ll even share insights on how other charities have raised hundreds of thousands with minimal effort — and help you tailor your approach to maximise results.

What we accept:

We exchange any form of currency, including:

Start Exchange

You don’t need to sort, count, or separate anything. We handle the entire process — saving you time and effort.

Our fully managed, zero-cost service includes:

• Free collection or subsidised drop-off options for larger donations

• Secure transport and handling of all currency

• Expert sorting and processing of all items received

• Fast, direct payment to your charity’s bank account

• Monthly management reports to provide a full audit trail

• Dedicated account manager and fundraising team for ongoing support

We operate through a fully transparent model. There are no setup costs, no commissions, and no hidden fees. We earn our margin solely on the exchange rates — so your charity retains every penny we raise.

Trusted by the UK’s leading charities and organisations

We work with some of the most recognisable names in the UK charity sector — including Macmillan Cancer Support, Breast Cancer Now, the Royal British Legion, Oxfam, and RNLI, to name a few.

We are also trusted by banks, airports, supermarkets, and even UK Police Forces, all of whom depend on our secure, professional, and compliant service.

When you choose to work with us, you join a growing group of charities already benefiting from a sustainable income stream that requires no initial investment and minimal staff time.

Extra donations through our Charity Partners page

As an added bonus, we automatically feature all the charities we collaborate with on our Charity Partners donation page. This allows members of the public who send us their residual currency to choose your charity and donate it directly to your cause.

It’s a completely passive and continuous source of income, with no effort needed from your team. The more visible your charity is, the more likely it will receive spontaneous, goodwill donations.

Let’s turn forgotten currency into real-world impact

Whether you’re a national charity aiming to grow your fundraising efforts or a local organisation seeking a new income stream, we’re here to support you.

Our team will support you throughout, offering free fundraising advice, practical assistance, and a fully managed, risk-free service. We’ve helped many charities and have raised millions of pounds — and we’d love to do the same for you.
