Charity fundraising

In Summer 2011, Zizzi began using Pennies, the electronic charity box, in all their restaurants, giving their customers the option to top up their bill by 20p and donate to charity. By March 2012, over £50,000 had been raised for charity, with the majority going to longstanding charity partner The Prince's Trust. 'Pennies with Zizzi' was crowned project-of-the-year by the Real IT Awards in 2012, also picking up the prize for Corporate, Social and Environmental Responsibility.[1]
