RDA has been chosen as one of the beneficiaries for the ICAP Charity Day on 5 December. ICAP have chosen to support RDA’s National Training Centre appeal, so funds raised on the day will take RDA a significant step closer to its fundraising target.

RDA supporters Clare Balding, Alastair Stewart, Anneka Rice and Natasha Baker will be at ICAP on the day to promote RDA’s work and hopefully close some deals too.

“I am delighted to be representing RDA at the ICAP Charity Day,” said Clare Balding. “Over the years this inspiring day has raised almost £135 million for charities like RDA and I’m looking forward to helping them add to that total on 5 December. RDA helps 25,000 disabled children and adults all over the UK and we grateful to ICAP Charity Day for everything they are doing to support our work.”

Paralympian Natasha Baker said: “I’m really excited to support the RDA, a charity very close to my heart at the TP ICAP charity day on the 5th December. I’ve been told the experience of being on a trading floor is electric, maybe I can secure a deal and make some money for a great cause.”

ICAP Charity Day

The Charity Day was founded in 1993 to grow its charitable giving programme through an innovative fundraising initiative that would make a significant difference to charities. Made possible through its unique position in the financial markets, the Company and its brokers committed to donating all revenues and commissions on one day a year, to a select group of charities around the world to guarantee that they would receive a sizeable contribution to fund much needed projects and initiatives. Now in its 25th year, ICAP, its customers and partners have collectively raised nearly £135 million to date and supported more than 2,200 projects worldwide.
