The final total raised for Children in Need in 2013 by Barclays Wealth and Investment Management employees in the Isle of Man has topped ?6,000.

All over the Island, employees held a series of special events to mark the fundraising day, and the money they brought in through sponsorship and donation was matched pound-for-pound by Barclays.

Employees made donations to dress up in ‘onesies’ for Children in Need day, there were cakes sales, a guess the name of the teddy competition, a raffle for a hamper and many more imaginative activities.

Stuart Nelson, Head of Corporate and Intermediary Banking at Barclays Wealth and Investment Management in the Isle of Man said: “Once again, Barclays Wealth and Investment Management got fully into the spirit of Children in Need with lots of creative and fun events. Employees raised a sensational amount of money, and now that has been matched the final total is more than ?6,000.”

“As some of the fundraising efforts were sponsored and donations continued to come in after the day itself, it has taken a little time to count up all the money, but I’m delighted Barclays Wealth and Investment Management is now able to make such a significant donation to such a great cause.”
