“We are really proud of how our employees have embraced the charity partnership with great enthusiasm. We’re looking forward to the many exciting fundraising events which are planned for 2020.”
The funds raised contribute towards Mind’s work to make sure people with mental health problems get support and respect.
“We are so grateful to the employees at Allianz for their commitment and enthusiasm in getting behind the first year of this three-year partnership,” commented Mind corporate partnerships head Emma Ihsan. “They have completely embraced all manner of fundraising activities to achieve a fantastic total so far.
“One in four of us will experience a mental health problem every year, so it is vital that we provide advice, information, and support so that no-one has to face their experience alone. The money they have raised, and continue to raise throughout this partnership, will help us to achieve this.”
