**Santander staff and customers have raised £1 million for [Marie Curie Cancer Care](http://www.mariecurie.org.uk),
the retail and commercial bank's charity partner for 2012. This is double the amount
it set out to raise, making it Santander's most successful charity partnership to
date.**

Fundraising activities by staff included charity bakes, collections, quizzes, hikes,
It's A Knockout tournaments, and the Santander Flame Relay, an 18-leg nationwide
event. Staff who trekked along the Great Wall of China raised £200,000.

Charlotte Hogg, Head of Retail Distribution and Intermediaries at Santander said:"
Our Charity of the Year partnerships are a significant part of our support for communities,
and the money that we raised in 2012 will make a real difference for terminally 
ill people all over the UK."
