FBC goes the distance for a great cause

Once again, the FBC team will be running, cycling, and walking (all virtually), but this time we’re taking on the challenge of travelling between our financial centres and main meeting locations. Our journey starts in London, then takes us to Luxembourg, Edinburgh, and Dublin before returning to London, covering an incredible 2,753 km!

At FBC, our charities and causes are close to the heart of our team. Each year, team members select the charities we support, and we make an annual donation on behalf of the many speakers and experts who generously contribute their time to fund governance. This is our way of expressing gratitude to our industry colleagues while also giving back to the communities where we live and work.

We’d love your support! Any donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference and be gratefully received. Thank you for helping us go the distance for these great causes!

Consider the joy and support – emotional and physical – that pets bring their owners, and none more so than dogs (for some of us, anyway!) and then consider what these amazing animals are able to do for people with sight loss. It’s nothing short of remarkable.

Since 2009, the Mindfulness in Schools Project (MiSP) has been supporting young people and schools with evidence-based mindfulness training and materials to help improve mental health and wellbeing. Their work is becoming ever more important as mental health issues among young people spiral. Their mindfulness courses have already reached at least 1.1m young people, teaching skills that help with things like coping with difficulties, managing thoughts and emotions, and improving concentration.
