On August 4, an enormous explosion obliterated the port of Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon. It's reported that at least 100 people have been killed and over 4,000 people are injured. These numbers are likely to continue to rise.

Here at Coutts, we are looking to raise funds for this very important cause. The Country is close to our hearts, with clients, family, friends and colleagues, all impacted by this tragic event.

In raising funds, we are kindly asking for sponsorship as we embark on a 100km non-contact relay around London. We will be setting off from our Offices at 440 Strand, early morning on the 25th August and completing a multi leg relay, with colleagues from within the International Teams and the wider Bank, working hard to complete the relay before dusk!

Thank you very much for your support, we really appreciate it. Please keep an eye on Coutts Connected for updates on the 25th.
