Unite to promote the City as a force for good

Launched in 2014, City Giving Day is a unique annual event that has become a staple in the City’s calendar, uniting us through charity and community partnerships.

Companies involved in City Giving Day use their foyers, receptions, restaurants and meeting rooms to showcase their amazing charitable and community work, letting their staff and visitors know about the difference they are making and the lives they are changing. In fact, some companies use City Giving Day as an opportunity to run events at their national and international offices too - bringing their businesses together for a common goal!

In 2017, a record 222 businesses, both large and small, took part in City Giving Day, with activities ranging from Batak challenges and charity fairs to scavenger hunts and bake sales.

This year, we want City Giving Day to be even bigger and better than before.

“City Giving Day is a very worthwhile event that not only raises money for a variety of important charities, but also brings staff together for a fun and shared work experience.”Claire Nash, Agricultural Bank of China
