In 2011, we were lucky enough to be chosen by the Financial Times as charity partner for their Seasonal Appeal that ran throughout December 2011 and ended on 31 January 2012.

The appeal raised an amazing €4.1 million - making us the most successful charity partnership that the FT has ever had and the first one to raise more than £4 million for this appeal! 

The fantastic total would not have been possible without our partners, Standard Chartered and the UK Government. Standard Chartered generously agreed to double all donations to the appeal, while the UK Government also matched donations made by individuals living in the UK. 

Check out the fantastic and insightful coverage this appeal generated in the Financial Times, as well as images from Charlie Bibby, chief Financial Times photographer.
