ICAP, part of TP ICAP group, a leading provider of market infrastructure, is pleased to reveal some of the charities that it is supporting with its 29th annual global Charity Day, to be held on Thursday, 09 December 2021.
Each year, ICAP Charity Day raises money for charities across the globe, with 100% of the revenues and commissions generated on the day donated to a variety of worthy causes. Last year’s remote event supported more than 100 charities.
This year’s UK ICAP Charity Day will support 100 good causes. Held in person at ICAP’s new offices in London, a select number of charity ambassadors and their celebrity patrons will be helping to close deals and broking volumes with clients, both on the telephones and through ICAP’s electronic platforms.
Amongst others, this year ICAP will be welcoming Olivia Colman, on behalf of Refuge; Gareth Southgate and Naomie Harris representing The Prince’s Trust; Simon Pegg on behalf of Alzhiemer’s Research UK; and Keith Lemon, representing Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.
Since its inception in 1992, ICAP Charity Day has raised over £150 million, and supported around 2,600 charitable projects around the world. This year, in line with government guidance, extra health and safety measures will be in place, such as compulsory Covid testing ahead of the event.
Nicolas Breteau, Group Chief Executive Officer, TP ICAP, said:
“I am delighted to announce this year’s ICAP Charity Day will take place in our brand new London headquarters, seeing charities and their celebrity ambassadors return to the broking floor to raise essential funds and celebrate the fantastic work of our charitable partners here in the UK and across the globe.
The charitable sector has suffered severely during the turbulent period brought upon us by the Covid-19 pandemic. We hope that the funds we raise will create significant opportunities for each of these amazing causes.”
