The Northern Bank in Northern Ireland has revealed that last year it raised over
£160,000 for the Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children (NICFC), the highest 
total since its charity partner programme began.

Despite a challenging year for the Northern, the charity inspired widespread support
across the bank from both customers, who gave generously, and staff who took part
in fundraising events.

The bank has also committed to donating a total of £25,000 for all charity savings
products opened during 2010 as well as pledging to raise more money through additional
staff and branch activities.
