Icap is organizing its 30th annual Charity Day for charities today.
Each year, the trading company holds a day when 100 percent of its earnings and broker commissions are donated to charitable causes.
Since its inception in 1993, Icap’s Charity Day has raised more than £155 million for around 1,700 charities.
Deal makers: Patrons such as England football manager Gareth Southgate and model Jodie Kidd (pictured with Southgate) have joined icap brokers
Patrons such as the Prince of Wales, football manager Gareth Southgate and model Jodie Kidd have joined Icap’s brokers to broker deals with clients.
This year’s celebrities include TV personalities Ant and Dec on behalf of The Prince’s Trust, presenter Gaby Roslin for Alzheimer’s Research UK, comedian Keith Lemon representing Shooting Star Children’s Hospices, and boxer David Haye on behalf of Prostate Cancer UK.
Estate agent Will Ferguson said: “You do get some weird looks going in on Charity Day dressed in a dirndl – it doesn’t look good on a middle-aged man like me – but it’s well worth it when you see the difference that makes a day.’
