The Bank of Ireland Staff Charitable Fund
Previously known as the Staff Third World Fund, this fund has been supporting the alleviation of extreme poverty in the developing world since 1982. The Staff Charitable Fund has three aims: to help relieve poverty; support advances in education; and help improve living conditions in the developing world.
100% of monies donated to the Fund go directly to charitable causes in the developing world, through select partnerships with local and global charities who apply to the Fund for monetary support.
If you would like to support the Fund or to find out more information, please contact staffthirdworldfund@boi.com.
Coaching
The Coaching Lunch & Learn sessions have proved very informative, giving attendees a deeper understanding of what Coaching is (and isn't) and providing time to practice using new Coaching Tools.
Data and Analytics
The Data and Analytics CoP hosts monthly lunch and learn events with internal speakers, and evening events with invited external speakers. The community aims to share success, encourage collaboration, improve data literacy and build on the ideas of others. Getting involved has translated into career progression for individuals, and new value realisation ideas for the analytics teams.
Project Management
The Project Management CoP has run a series of successful events (both lunch and learn and evening events) aimed at promoting the project management discipline and methodology. These events, aimed at both aspiring and seasoned project managers, have had a variety of speakers: the Irish women's Hockey Manager, an Olympian, a construction project manager and an expert in financial regulation. Each event has offered best practice guidance for continuous improvement in the project management field of expertise. Join us to develop and embed your skills in this growing area of specialisation.

Not for Profit
There are many ways of volunteering to support charities or other not for profit (NFP) organisations like schools or sports clubs to help our communities to thrive. One way to support NFPs is to serve on their boards or committees as directors/trustees. The NFP COP is aimed at colleagues who may already be supporting NFPs and equally those who are interested in finding out more about this type of volunteering.
