Powys Pennies is a simple idea which raises money for local community projects and charities in Powys by collecting the pennies each month from your pay slips.
This scheme is currently closed to applications
Employees of the County Council and PAVO can take part, and provides an easy, hassle free way of supporting our local community projects and charities.
Each month, when you receive your net pay (your 'take-home' pay after deductions) we will round the amount down to the nearest pound. The pennies that are left over are then sent to community charities within Powys.
Jack or Jill has a net monthly pay of £1160.42.
Powys Pennies would round it down to the nearest pound, deducting 42 pence from his net pay, leaving Jack or Jill with £1160.00.
The deducted 42 pence is donated to Powys Pennies for the support of charitable community activity in the county.
You would only be donating pennies each month, so you would hardly notice the difference to your pay. The big difference is the collective contribution of donated pennies over a year, along with colleagues.
Contributions gathered from the Powys Pennies scheme are administered by PAVO as a community grant.
