On 23rd September, The Access Bank UK Limited team proudly took part in the City Giving Day Treasure Hunt, a fun and interactive event that brings together businesses and their employees in support of the Lord Mayor’s Appeal. 

City Giving Day, a highlight in the City of London calendar, provides an opportunity for organisations across the Square Mile and beyond to showcase their philanthropic efforts and unite behind causes that create lasting social impact. The Treasure Hunt, one of the signature activities, saw our colleagues working together to solve clues, explore hidden corners of the City, and enjoy some friendly competition—all while raising awareness for charitable initiatives.

The Lord Mayor’s Appeal is committed to making London a better place to live and work by addressing key social issues through its charity partnerships. Funds raised through events like City Giving Day support the Appeal’s current partner charities, including:

National Numeracy – improving everyday maths skills to boost confidence and career opportunities.

MQ Mental Health Research – transforming the understanding and treatment of mental health through pioneering research.

Homewards – a five-year programme led by The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales, aiming to demonstrate that ending homelessness is possible.

These charities align closely with our own values at The Access Bank UK, as we strive to support communities, encourage education, and create opportunities for growth.

Our team’s enthusiastic participation in the Treasure Hunt reflects our wider commitment to community engagement and corporate responsibility. Beyond the fun and collaboration of the day, it was a chance to demonstrate that together, we can contribute to building a more inclusive and supportive society.

At The Access Bank UK Limited, we believe that giving back is not just about financial contributions—it’s about investing our time, energy, and creativity to make a difference.
