UT Bank has presented cheques totaling GH¢37,000 to seven charity organisations as part of the bank’s annual show of love towards the society.
The institutions include the National Cardiothoracic Centre, the Light Outreach International, Ghana National Trust Fund, and Hope for Kids.
The rest are Ghana Blind Union, Angel Zoe Foundation and Family Outreach Ghana.
The Deputy Managing Director of UT Bank, Ms Pearl Esua-Mensah, said the donations were to supplement resources being used by those organisations to cater for the under privileged in society.
She said UT was committed to its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and hence was always willing to give back to the society where they draw their income from.
According to her, their annual charity donations started eight years ago and based on the positive feedback on how the organisations used it, the company had added GH¢2,000 to the amount for last year.
She added UT sees what the charity organisations do with the money and will therefore be a crime for them to ignore the people around them.
Ms Esua-Mensah said the banks local branches are also encouraged to pick out issues of concern in the areas they operate so everyone can have a fair share of their CSR project.
She also said UT was hoping to set up a foundation to spearhead financial literacy in the country as well as collaborating with GIZ to provide basic health screening for communities.
She was also optimistic that the various organisations would use the resources made available to them to support their initiatives.
Representatives from the various charity organisations were grateful to UT Bank for their constant support which helps them cater properly for their inmates.
