LONDON, 9 December 2024 — ICAP, part of TP ICAP group, a world leading financial services company, is pleased to announce that its 32nd annual global Charity Day will be held on Wednesday 11 December.
Each year, ICAP Charity Day raises money for charities across the globe, with 100% of ICAP’s revenues and its brokers’ commissions generated on one day donated to a variety of causes. Last year more than 100 different charitable organisations worldwide benefited.
Since it began as a pioneering fundraising initiative in 1993, through the support of its clients and brokers ICAP Charity Day has raised more than £165 million to date, which has been donated to more than 3,000 charitable causes around the world, directly supporting more than 7.7 million people.
In the UK, 16 charitable organisations are set to benefit this year. They will be joined by their celebrity ambassadors at ICAP’s offices in London, where they will help brokers close deals with clients.
Laura Whitmore on behalf of The King’s Trust; Ray Winstone on behalf of the Royal British Legion; Jason Isaacs representing The Felix Project; Christine Lampard on behalf of Teens Unite Fighting Cancer; and Gaby Roslin representing Alzheimer’s Research UK are among the distinguished celebrity ambassadors who will be attending ICAP Charity Day in London this year.
Nicolas Breteau, Group Chief Executive Officer, TP ICAP, said:
“At a time of continued high living costs and considerable uncertainty the charitable sector continues to face significant challenges. We are delighted to be supporting 16 charities in the UK and many more around the world. Our charitable giving focus remains on funding innovative projects that will make a material difference to the vital work of these amazing causes.
By capturing the imagination of our clients, colleagues, charity partners and their celebrity ambassadors ICAP Charity Day has grown to be an iconic fixture in the charity and financial calendar. All of us who work at the company feel great pride at the significant and continuing positive impact of ICAP Charity Day.”
