Santander has chosen CLIC Sargent as its Charity of the Year partner for 2013 and
aims to raise £800,000 for the cancer charity for children and young people.

The charity was chosen in a staff vote in which over a third of staff voted for

Jonathan Elliott, Santander's Community Manager, said: "We have events planned across
the UK to bring together our staff to make a difference for the charity. Fundraising
for our Charity of the Year partners has grown year-on-year and we’re confident 
that this will continue in 2013."

During the year, it will support fundraising activities, including two It’s A Knockout
events, the Santander Flame Relay and an international trek, as well as branch counter
campaigns.
