The Deutsche Bank Muslim Network welcome all colleagues in the bank to take part in our Fast for a Day Challenge on the 2nd of March 2026. We challenge you to join us in fasting from sunrise to sunset and donate the cost of your would be lunch/coffee to our UK charity of the year, Magic Breakfast. This is a fantastic way to experience what Ramadan feels like for your colleagues and gain better insight into the significance of this month.

One in seven children and young people in the UK arrive at school with empty tummies. Hunger doesn’t just affect learning; it impacts a child’s chance to thrive.

Every penny raised through the Deutsche Bank partnership ensures that each morning, Magic Breakfast can continue to impact hundreds of thousands of school children at schools in disadvantaged communities with nutritious breakfasts. For these pupils, breakfast isn’t just about food. It’s a moment of stability for those facing uncertainty. A non-stigmatising start for families navigating poverty. A consistent, nurturing environment that supports well-being and readiness to learn.

Through the dedicated employee fundraising and skill-sharing that happens across the bank, our partnership will work to make sure every child can access a consistent, nurturing environment for breakfast, one that enables them to learn and thrive. Because the magic isn’t an extra. It’s essential.
