Fundraising

Raise more by collecting leftover foreign coins and banknotes

Every year, large amounts of leftover foreign coins and banknotes — including old British and Irish currency — go unused in homes across the UK. This forgotten money often remains in drawers, jars, or suitcases after holidays, never being exchanged. Why? Because most banks and exchange bureaus won’t accept coins or demonetised notes, and people often don’t know what to do with them.

That’s where we come in.

We exchange leftover foreign travel money into valuable charitable donations through our simple, secure, and fully managed fundraising exchange service. Whether you’re an individual fundraiser, a community group, a registered charity, or a corporate organisation seeking to give back, we provide everything you need to make your campaign a success.

Here’s what we accept

People are happy to donate what they can’t use

What makes foreign currency fundraising so effective is that people don’t mind parting with money they have no use for. Coins from a past holiday, old European currencies, outdated British or Irish notes — it’s all currency they can’t spend or exchange easily. But they’re more than willing to donate it to a cause that matters.

We exchange all foreign coins and notes, including outdated and demonetised currency, as well as damaged or withdrawn banknotes. So every donation has value, even the ones people consider worthless.

Fundraising made simple — for anyone

Our service is perfect for:

• Individual fundraisers taking on sponsored challenges or events
• Schools, PTAs, and community groups raising funds for local causes
• Registered charities running large-scale or ongoing campaigns
• Corporate partners looking to engage staff and support their chosen charities

Whether you’re managing a one-off collection or a nationwide appeal, we’ll support you with everything you need to maximise donations.

Support and tools for every campaign

We don’t just collect currency — we help you build your campaign from the ground up. We provide donation pots, collection tubes, tamper-proof security bags, posters, flyers, and digital assets. If you’re operating across multiple sites or branches, we can help coordinate logistics, collection schedules, and reporting.

From first-time fundraisers to well-established organisations, we ensure you maximise every campaign. Once the funds are collected, we manage the rest — sorting, counting, exchanging, and transferring the full amount to your nominated cause. You’ll receive a detailed statement along with prompt payment, with no fees or hidden costs.

Trusted by major charities and corporate partners

We have helped raise millions for UK charities, including Breast Cancer Now, Macmillan, Royal British Legion, and many others. We also work with an expanding list of corporate partners to support staff-led fundraising initiatives and workplace CSR campaigns. Our service is scalable, secure, and trusted by some of the UK’s most well-known organisations.

With the best exchange rates in the UK and a reputation for integrity and results, we’re proud to be the fundraising partner of choice for organisations of all sizes.
