Banif employees have donated over €2,500 to various charitable causes over the first half of this year, through the bank’s monthly Casual Fridays initiative.

On the last Friday of every month, Banif staff trade their formal wear for more casual attire and make a small donation in return. A different cause is chosen each month, often through staff involvement or suggestion.

The year was kicked off by helping the Young Adult Education Resource Centre at Wardija, a special needs school which caters for close to 100 students. The focus turned to animals again later on in the year with a sum being collected for the Happy Paws Animal Clinic. Another contribution was made through the Alive 2015 cycling initiative, aimed at raising funds for children diagnosed with cancer and another collection went towards the Dr Klown project, which help sick children in wards with laughter therapy.

Employee Christine Harmer is heavily involved with the Right2Smile foundation and the Banif team raised a generous sum to help her make several trips to assisting in projects in Africa and South America.
