Staff at mobile telephone service provider O2 will be given the opportunity to join
the Pennies from Heaven scheme (PFH) and donate on an ongoing basis the pennies 
left on their salary each month to benefit the young people’s charity, Weston Spirit.

PFH is now in its fifth year and has many of the UK’s largest organisations contributing
to the scheme, such as Barclays, Aviva, Morgan Stanley and the Virgin Group. To 
date the company has raised over £600,000 for a variety of charities through the
simple mechanism of rounding down salaries to the nearest pound and donating the
spare pennies (with gift aid) to charity.
