Capital Group is teaming up with CASCAID and AFC Wimbledon to raise money for the NSPCC. On 21st May, at the 5-a-side astro pitch inside AFC Wimbledon's stadium, Capital Group's football community will undertake the epic challenge of playing 12 matches over 12 hours against teams from other firms in our industry. The event will bring together colleagues from around the asset management industry (and friends and family) to raise money for this very worthy charity. Whilst the event will surely be a lot of fun, our primary goal is to provide vital funds for the NSPCC. So please take 30 seconds to read the next paragraph and then donate as much as you can today via this page. Thank you!  

Childhood should be a time to dream, but Covid-19 has robbed many more children of that opportunity. Since the pandemic and lockdowns: 1 in 6 children now struggle with their mental health - up from 1 in 9. The NSPCC has seen a 3x increase in children talking to Childline about sexual abuse within the family. And, a 53% increase in domestic violence. We know that the right support at the right time can prevent both abuse and mental health problems from derailing the rest of a child's life. £4 answers a call to Childline from a child suffering in a silence. £25 covers an hour of therapy - rebuilding lives after abuse. Every penny you raise can help put a child's life back on track. Every penny you raise is helping give thousands of children the support they need to dream of a brighter future.
