Metro Bank Financial Crime Team Volunteers Support for The Passage Charity

Metropolitan Bank ·  Oct 16 12:00

The UK's community bank, Metro Bank, gives every colleague a Day to Amaze – essentially a paid day off to support a local charity or good cause. Colleagues from Metro Bank's Financial Crime team recently volunteered their time to support The Passage, a charity dedicated to helping homeless individuals access vital services. The charity provides essential support such as shelter, job assistance, and help with health and wellbeing.

The team, comprised of Priya Gurung, Tim Freeman, Cara Morgan, Cynthia Tuck, Tim Smith, Emma Kent, Guiseppe Di Cecco, and Corey Mason, organized a cake sale at the Metro Bank Holborn store, while other colleagues collected donations at Holborn Station. Their efforts raised awareness of The Passage's critical work and generated about £200 in cake sales alone.

Following the fundraising activities, the team visited The Passage's site in Victoria, where they received a tour and gained deeper insight into how their contributions are helping to make a difference in the lives of those facing homelessness.

Priya Gurung, Metro Bank Financial Crime Advisor who organized volunteering efforts, said: "It was a humbling experience to lead this initiative. The funds we raised will support The Passage's vital work, and visiting their site truly highlighted the immense challenges homeless individuals face every day. We are proud to have contributed to such a meaningful cause."
