Community Involvement at Rathbones
During 2007 Rathbones made a significant commitment to support four Liverpool secondary schools in their bids for Specialist Schools and Academies Trust status and as part of our contribution to the celebrations for the Liverpool Capital of Culture, we are hosting a Summer Exhibition of artistic works in conjunction with the four schools, showcasing the creative talents of Liverpool’s youth across many different and diverse artistic media. Information is available at www.summerexhibition.rathbones.com.
In 2008, The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation and Help For Heroes were selected by employee ballot as our charities for 2008/09 and employees will be encouraged to support the two charities through a range of activities. For more information click here.
Our specialist ethical investment service Rathbone Greenbank Investments continues to support Schumacher UK in its aims to promote sustainable development through its co-sponsorship of the organisation’s Bristol series of lectures. Rathbone Greenbank Investments has also maintained its sponsorship of The Funding Network, a UK-based organisation which brings people together in a marketplace to help fund charitable projects.

Rathbones is involved in a range of community activities at both a group and a local scale, and supports employees’ participation in a wide range of activities involving both local and international charities. We encourage employees to take up voluntary and charitable positions, and the Board supports participation in such activities. Many of our staff are involved with schools, colleges, charities, civic, youth and religious groups in various capacities.
