The Northern Bank in Northern Ireland has selected the Northern Ireland Cancer 
Fund for Children as its charity partner for 2008. The selection process involved
the bank’s staff throughout its branch network. Northern has begun the partnership
with the Bank donating £5 for every Charity Bond taken out by customers. Further
support will follow from their Employee Charity Group and Sports and Social Club
as well as staff fundraising events throughout the year. In 2007, the Northern raised
over £140k for Macmillan Cancer Support and hope to match that amount for their 
new charity partner in 2008. Teresa Morris, Business Development Manager at NICFC
said, “It’s great to know that we have Northern’s support throughout 2008, and to
know that we’re working with a great bunch of people who really care about the work
we do. We are keen to get all staff members involved and will be providing you with
a list of fundraising opportunities shortly.” Vanessa Postle, Communications Team
added, “We know from last year’s success that teams enjoy raising money for a good
cause and participating in popular events such as the Belfast Marathon and local
fun runs.” www.northernbank.co.uk
