Nomura chooses Rainbow Trust as charity of the year
Howard Lake | 23 May 2011 | News
Global investment bank Nomura has selected children’s charity Rainbow Trust as its charity of the year, in a partnership that will run for two years. The charity, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, expects to receive more than £300,000 from the partnership.
The charity was selected following an employee vote in April this year. Applications were received from 20 charities.
Nomura’s community affairs programme, which supports young people in the UK, has recently completed a two year relationship with Teenage Cancer Trust in which employees raised £1 million, ten times its original fundraising target.
Heather Wood, Chief Executive of Rainbow Trust said: “This is fantastic news for Rainbow Trust, and currently makes Nomura our biggest corporate supporter. I would like to say a big thank you to Nomura for choosing Rainbow Trust; this is a wonderful boost for the charity, expanding our reach by 20 per cent”.
