Charities Going for Brokers
What do you get when you cross 50 years of City charitable giving with a bearish market? In the Square Mile, dinner!
The Stock Exchange Veterans Charity Association started out as a football club for, you guessed it, anyone who survived the trading floor from 1958 on and lived to play another day.
Now the annual charity dinner is one of the highlights in the City's social calendar, held this year at the Brewery in the City on 28 February 2008. The event in 2007 raised over £30,000 with the Vets supporting 101 charitable appeals and gave over £52,000 in the last year to those less fortunate.
London and City-centric recipients ranged from Great Ormond Street, Hammersmith and Kings College Hospitals, to the London Mayor's 2007 Appeal, the London Taxi Drivers Fund for Underprivileged Children and Crisis Square Mile.
The Vets committee includes stockbrokers from WH Ireland, Charles Stanley, Hoodless Brennan and Winterfloods.
Spaces on the night are still up for grabs - no bearish growls allowed. For further details and information please contact Trisha Reay at treay@cityinsights.co.uk or log on to the Vets website at www.stockexchangevets.org.
