Pennies For Life

MicroLoan Foundation, the Chiswick-based charity which provides small loans and guidance to women in sub-Saharan Africa, along with Metro Bank, raised £40,000 during the ‘Pennies for Life’ record attempt at Chiswick Community School.

A total of five hundred volunteers participated in the attempt, lining 7.22 miles with 571,824 individual pennies, potentially setting a new UK record. MicroLoan stated that Metro Bank's "support has been absolutely invaluable to this event".
