Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. On 26th October, 4 men from Credit Suisse will be driving from London to Milan in an ageing pink car with go faster stripes. We are doing this as part of the Credit Suisse 2012 Banger Rally to raise money for Centrepoint - Credit Suisse London's charity of the year. The rally is organised over 2 days and will be kicking off from the London office. The route will take us across the Channel into France with a pit stop in Dijon before proceeding to the final destination - Milan. Along the way, there will be several challenges to complete for which points will be awarded. This is not a race and the winning team is the one with the most points. More importantly, the amount we raise in pounds will be converted to points. Hence, your donations not only make a difference to the nice folks at Centrepoint but also help us to stand on the top step of the podium in Milan!

Centrepoint is the leading charity for homeless young people. Centrepoint gives 1,300 young people a safe place to stay, then uses this as the foundation to get their lives back on track. By offering learning, health and financial support 82% of Centrepoint's young people leave to lead independent lives in education or employment.

 Credit Suisse is supporting Centrepoint's Learning team. They need £300,000 a year to give young people basic skills, education, financial literacy, preparation for work and everything else a young homeless person needs to move on to independent living.
