Money is an intrepid traveller, destined for diverse locations across the globe, invested in businesses and industries, some positive others destructive. Its most unsavoury destinations are well documented: the arms trade, gambling, tobacco, industries where workers are exploited or environments damaged, the making of corrupt payments to secure contracts... You get the picture.
Our Follow the Money series of events are designed to give you the opportunity to follow the money saved in our ethical accounts to a charity or social enterprise near you.
In Northern Ireland, we are visiting Newry & Mourne Carers, which provide high quality support services to carers in the area, working in partnership with agencies to enhance their situation, as well as promoting relevant services, information and training for carers.
We look forward to sharing their story with you and showcasing the fantastic work Newry & Mourne are are doing to support carers in your community.
Once you’ve registered, we’ll confirm specific details for the day including timings, travel options & dietary requirements in the run up to the event.
This is an opportunity to learn about what diverse organisations are doing to address social issues and how your savings are contributing. You will get a chance to talk to the people running charities, social enterprises and community organisations, as well as those they support.
There will be lunch, an opportunity to learn and explore, and the company of extraordinary people. This is your opportunity to see the good that you can do when you put your money where your values are.
