Paul Stanley, Interim Chief Executive, commented; “As a business, Ulster Bank has strong ties with local communities and through One Week in June, we are aiming to help the local cancer support groups and charities that make a daily difference to those coping with cancer around the country.
"Ulster Bank is committed to supporting these charities through local branch fundraising drives and to working towards making a difference in the lives of those touched by cancer. We have chosen to support cancer charities in 2016, as cancer is a cause close to many hearts in Ireland.”
Ulster Bank is supporting cancer charities for One Week in June 2016 after staff voted to support the cause, also deciding that it was important to give back to smaller, local charities alongside larger, national bodies.
Customers can get involved by taking part in their local branch’s fundraising efforts, by donating directly in their branch or by downloading the One Week in June app from iTunes or Google Play.
