City Giving Day is a simple but impactful initiative that enables City companies and employees to celebrate and showcase their philanthropic and volunteering achievements, and encourage others to get involved. Put simply, City Giving Day is good for business, good for employees, good for the City and good for our local communities.
In 2017, 222 organisations came together to recognise all this remarkable work. By joining in they inspired up to 5,000 new volunteers to offer their time, raised more than £400,000 for good causes and highlighted some of the exceptional charitable activity that takes place throughout the year.
If you would like to find out more, the Lord Mayor is hosting a City Giving Day Engagement Breakfast at the Mansion House, London, EC4N 8BH on Thursday 14th June, 7:45- 10:00am. We would be delighted if you and/or a colleague were able to attend the breakfast, where you will have an opportunity to meet and hear from previous participants about how City Giving Day supports their CSR activity, as well as hearing more about our plans for 2018 including collaborative events in the City and Canary Wharf. Please RSVP to [email protected] to reserve your place.
In the meantime, if you have a few minutes our City Giving Day highlights video, which you can view on our website, really does bring the whole event to life.
