Corporate Social Responsibility

From June 2006 to December 2007, the Deutsche Bank Charity of the Year was SPARKS, the children's medical research charity. Thanks to the commitment and generosity of our staff, we raised over £1.3million which will fund vital research into Neuroblastoma, Auto-Immune Liver Diseases, Leukaemia and Cystic Fibrosis. We are hopeful that this will ultimately save and improve the lives of many small children and their families.

Throughout 2008-09 we are supporting three charities through our Charities of the Year programme. These are:

The Angus Lawson Memorial Trust
CHICKS
Teenage Cancer Trust.

Coordinated by the Bank's Corporate Social Responsibility department, these charities will work together to put on a range of fundraising events and activities for Deutsche Bank staff throughout the year. It’s a team effort between all parties - the charities, the CSR team and the employees. Together, we arrange sports events, overseas challenges, music concerts, wine tasting evenings, parties and glamorous balls, pub quizzes, raffles, auctions, art competitions… and the list goes on!

Each of the charities also offer staff unique events and fundraising initiatives in order to raise funds specifically for their cause, but for the jointly organised events funds raised are shared between all three charities.
