NCB STOCKBROKERS yesterday hosted its eighth charity day (right), donating commissions earned to a number of good causes, including ISPCC Childline, Our Lady’s Hospice the Sean Leonard Fund, and Trinity Access programmes.

Since 2003, the stockbroker has raised an impressive €1.5 million for 18 nominated charities from these “fun” days.

Commissions are harder earned now, and it’s good to see NCB continue to do its bit for charity.
