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”.
