Staff have broken the £1 million mark of funds raised for local charities since One Week in June was set up eight years ago.
The teams from Macmillan and AWARE joined bank staff at a special celebratory event hosted by Q Radio presenter Cate Conway which included a special live reveal to mark the finale of the bank’s One Week in June charity campaign. Cate was joined by Stephen Lavery from Ulster Bank and AWARE’s Clare Galbraith, Joanne Young from Macmillan as well as staff from branches and departments within the bank.
“I’m incredibly proud of all our staff who have worked so hard to raise this amazing total. A big thank-you also to all our customers who really dug deep to help us make a real difference to AWARE and Macmillan,” said Stephen Lavery.
Throughout June bank staff organised many different events and challenges, from running, cycling and mountain hikes to raffles, afternoon teas, auctions, car boot sales, quizzes and BBQs.
Thanking Ulster Bank for their tremendous contribution Clare Galbraith from AWARE said, “Through their fabulous work, Ulster Bank staff and customers will be helping to sustain and grow our support groups throughout Northern Ireland. I’m so grateful to everyone at Ulster Bank it really has been a brilliant and extremely enjoyable partnership.
Joanne Young from Macmillan Cancer Support said it had been a fantastic experience working with the team at Ulster Bank and supporting their money raising efforts, “I’d like to congratulate all the bank staff for their phenomenal fundraising efforts. Many people at Ulster Bank have experienced at first hand the vital support from a range of services provided by Macmillan in Northern Ireland, especially our incredible Macmillan nurses and we’re delighted that they wanted to support us and give back to the charity.”
