Raising money for

The Bridge Academy, Hackney

Charity Registration No. 1107407

The Bridge Academy, Hackney, is a mixed, non-denominational school for 11-18 year olds. It welcomed its first intake of 187 students in September 2007 and by 2013 it will cater for 1,150 students, including a sixth form for 250 students. UBS is the leading city financial firm which has helped to support and establish the school which specialises in Music and Mathematics. Hackney is one of the most deprived areas in the UK - unemployment is at 16% which is double the London average and 3 times the UK average. 82% of the population live in social housing and 47% of all residential lettings are in receipt of Housing Benefit. Approximately 50% of pupils in Hackney are eligible for free school meals (an indicator of poverty on the deprivation index) compared to a national average of about 20%. Despite its proximity to the City, 30% of school leavers never get a job. Through the Bridge Academy partnership UBS seeks not only to develop a lifelong enthusiasm for learning among students, but also to support regeneration in the area.

My story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

This year six UBS employees (plus all important support crew) will participate in the Enduro Challenge and raise funds for The Bridge Academy. The Enduro Challenge, a relay race from Tower Bridge in London to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, is a triathlon event composed of a run from London to Dover, followed by a swim across the English Channel, culminating in a cycle from Calais to Paris.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Bridge Academy, Hackney gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!

And don't forget if you are a UBS employee to complete your Matched Giving form. UBS will match, pound for pound, your donation to the Bridge Academy. Everyone's a winner!

Many thanks for your support.
