Another high profile pledge has been made to the East London Bond. Apax Partners LLP, an independent global private equity advisory firm has pledged £100,000 to the Bond boosting support for this fantastic cause even further.

Apax joins other high profile investors such as Wates Group, Vitabiotics and Winterflood Securities and we are very grateful for their support.

Companies and individuals alike can invest in the Bond with a minimum investment of £500. Find out how to invest here

Tim Jones, CEO of Citylife

Citylife’s own CEO, Tim Jones, is so committed to this Bond that he is to invest his own sweat equity: he has agreed (foolishly!) to run the inaugural Brighton marathon alongside the Bromley by Bow team. 

You can click here to go straight through to his Just Giving page and make a donation – your support at any level will be very much appreciated!

But in a rare twist on marathon sponsorship Tim is thinking that many individuals and companies in the current economic climate will want to keep their assets safe and buy a fully refundable Charitable Bond instead.

Every £1000 raised through the East London Bond is not only kept safe and returned intact after 5 years but includes, at current rates, an upfront gift of £200 to charity – £100 goes immediately to Bromley by Bow Centre AND a further £100 goes right away to fellow east London charity Community Links!

To make a donation go to Tim’s Just Giving page here. To pledge £500 or more to Tim’s Marathon and the East London Bond please complete a pledge form. Thank you for your support.

Support for the East London Bond is gathering pace with two high profile pledges. Vitabiotics and Winterflood Securities Ltd have both pledged £100,000 to the Bond.
