In 2019, PTSB Staff Charities donated €218,000 to local charities, supporting the work of Barretstown and The Alzheimer Society Of Ireland.
The charities supported are nominated and selected by PTSB employees for the fundraising year. Numerous fundraising events are organised and managed by our colleagues from around the Bank throughout the year including:
and, various other local fundraising initiatives that are driven by our teams in the Branch Network. All money raised by employees is match funded by the Bank.
In 2019, the PTSB Charity Rugby Match vs. AIB raised more than €89,000 for the above deserving organisations and marked our biggest fundraising initiative of the year.
Since its establishment, the Staff Charities Fund has donated in excess of €1 million to Irish Charities, supporting local communities across the country.
To further support the work of our Staff Charity Partners, our colleagues contributed nearly 2000 volunteer hours on the ground in local communities last year, equating to €28,000 of in-kind giving.
We look forward to working alongside our newest Staff Charity Partners – Pieta House and Make A Wish Ireland – for the 2019/2020 fundraising year.
