Guidelines and Applications
Guidelines For Community Development SupportWe are committed to working on behalf of the communities in which we live and work, with the same passion with which we endeavor to achieve only the best on behalf of our clients. To this aim, we invest not just money, but a full range of strategies and assets to enhance the communities where the Bank operates, bringing positive change to those most in need throughout the world. Globally, we aim to create sustainable projects that nurture diversity, create opportunities and grow society’s human capital. This global strategy is developed and implemented locally by experienced teams. Each region has responsibility for evaluating its activities and reporting on a regular basis to a body of senior business representatives and our global head office. In the UK, “Deutsche Bank CSR UK” manages this. Deutsche Bank builds its Community Investment programmes around three key global themes. 1. EDUCATIONThe Bank does not support primary or specialist schools. We have a list of target secondary schools in Greater London. More specifically we fund programmes that support: Retention
- projects that ease the transition between primary and secondary schools, reduce
absenteeism, and help prevent exclusion. Achievement
- projects that raise the aspirations, achievements and attainment levels, with
a particular focus on financial literacy, business awareness, functional and
soft skills Progression
- projects that educate, encourage, and prepare for progression into further
and higher education, training and employment.
2. SOCIAL INVESTMENTWe focus on disadvantaged communities in London, prioritising our neighbouring boroughs. Community
Sport - projects that build skills and achievements, improve community
cohesion and participation and reduce crime / social exclusion. Educational
Outreach - projects that work with NEET groups and guide them back
into mainstream education, training or employment. Employment
& Employability - supporting the development of both business and
social entrepreneurs and working with those furthest from the labour market
to help them find appropriate and sustainable employment. Homelessness
– addressing the causes of homelessness and helping the homeless to re-integrate
themselves back into society. Neighbourhood
renewal – initiatives that build the capacity of grassroots organisations
and enable them to improve their local service delivery.
