In support of Centrepoint's 50th anniversary, Team Aksia raised funds and slept out in the cold for one night to give them a small insight into the challenges the young people face.<strong> </strong>In total, Aksia has proudly raised over £120,000 for Centrepoint over the last two years.</p> <p>Centrepoint’s Director of Fundraising, Di Gornall, commented, “Aksia has shown amazing commitment fundraising for Centrepoint and helping to positively change the lives of the young people we support. After raising £72K at last year’s Sleep Out and topping the fundraising leaderboard, they are already nearing the £50k mark for this year. We have loved working with Aksia and everyone at Centrepoint is incredibly grateful for their hard work, support and dedication to ending youth homelessness.”</p> <p>The amount raised by Team Aksia could enable 250 homeless young people to benefit from one on one counselling sessions, which offer individuals the support they need to recognize and build healthy relationships, aim to improve their confidence and support them in developing coping mechanisms to break the cycle of abuse.</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'links__node' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * links--node.html.twig x links.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/navigation/links.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/navigation/links.html.twig' --> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="flag.link_builder:build" arguments="0=node&amp;1=4248&amp;2=bookmark" token="Ym1xH9KTjHNxvnOLNuuOFFYvjQN4Gl_EUiqxZAudcO4"></drupal-render-placeholder> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'container' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/container.html.twig' --> <div class="print__wrapper print__wrapper--pdf"><a href="/print/pdf/node/4248" class="print__link print__link--pdf">Print</a></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/container.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--giving-back.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig x field--field-author.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field--field-author.html.twig' --> <a href="/author/alphaweek-staff" hreflang="en">AlphaWeek Staff</a> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field--field-author.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-content-role--giving-back.html.twig * field--node--field-content-role.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--field-content-role.html.twig * field--list-string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-content-role field--type-list-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Content role</div> <div class="field__item">Public</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> Fri, 22 Nov 2019 10:59:49 +0000 AlphaWeek Staff 4248 at https://www.alpha-week.com Phyt Cares To Hold Annual Fundraiser In NYC https://www.alpha-week.com/phyt-cares-hold-annual-fundraiser-nyc <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--title--giving-back.html.twig x field--node--title.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--title.html.twig * field--string.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <span>Phyt Cares To Hold Annual Fundraiser In NYC</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--created--giving-back.html.twig x field--node--created.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--created.html.twig' --> <span>Thu, 10/31/2019 -

In particular, the school offers a genuine access route for students who come from backgrounds that are often underrepresented in mathematical sciences – around 40% of current students are from financially challenging backgrounds and 37% are female. These figures are considerably higher than the respective proportions studying STEM subjects in the broader population. </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>Reflecting its mission to widen participation in mathematical degrees and careers, the Kings's College Maths class of 2018 achieved exceptional results: 59% of all entries were A* grades, 89% were A*/A, and 97% were A*/A/B.

Aksia is officially the proud owner of the “R” and its employees hope that by installing the letter in Aksia’s London office, they will be able to further spread the word of Centrepoint’s essential work. Last year, the Aksia team supported Centrepoint by raising over £70,000 in sponsorship for the charity’s Sleep Out event, braving the elements to spend a cold November night sleeping outside. This was the highest amount raised of any of the 120 teams that took part in the event.</p> <p>The “R” is one of the 11 letters that formerly stood on the tower, and which were transformed by different artists with distinct styles. The sky-high lettering spelling out the building’s name has been a unique feature of Centre Point and Soho since the Sixties.</p> <p>Artist Charlie Fegan worked on the “R”, and said “This ‘R’ has witnessed every sunset since the Sixties, so I want it to become a repository of these.”</p> <p>All funds raised from the sale of the letters will go to Centrepoint, the UK’s leading youth homelessness charity. Centrepoint was founded in 1969 as a night shelter in Soho. Fifty years later it is a national charity supporting 10,000 homeless young people every year. Centrepoint’s work is about more than just a bed for the night. The charity helps young people to turn their lives around by gaining essential life skills; tackling their physical and mental health issues and moving into education or employment.</p> <p>Faye Edmonson, Head of Corporate and Regional Fundraising at Centrepoint said: “We are incredibly grateful to Aksia for their amazing support of Centrepoint and we are delighted they were able to take a letter home from the auction. All of the money raised will be used to tackle youth homelessness, which in our 50th year when action is desperately needed, could not have come at a better moment.”</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'links__node' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * links--node.html.twig x links.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/navigation/links.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/navigation/links.html.twig' --> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="flag.link_builder:build" arguments="0=node&amp;1=2812&amp;2=bookmark" token="GF5Aw2g51xRHDZGp-bbuduowbn2KV0XyPxGJjYx9oXQ"></drupal-render-placeholder> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'container' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/container.html.twig' --> <div class="print__wrapper print__wrapper--pdf"><a href="/print/pdf/node/2812" class="print__link print__link--pdf">Print</a></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/container.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--giving-back.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig x field--field-author.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field--field-author.html.twig' --> <a href="/author/alphaweek-staff" hreflang="en">AlphaWeek Staff</a> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field--field-author.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-content-role--giving-back.html.twig * field--node--field-content-role.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--field-content-role.html.twig * field--list-string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-content-role field--type-list-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Content role</div> <div class="field__item">Public</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> Mon, 01 Jul 2019 07:43:56 +0000 AlphaWeek Staff 2812 at https://www.alpha-week.com A Leg To Stand On Announces Rocktoberfest London Sponsors https://www.alpha-week.com/giving-back/leg-stand-announces-rocktoberfest-london-sponsors <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--title--giving-back.html.twig x field--node--title.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--title.html.twig * field--string.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <span>A Leg To Stand On Announces Rocktoberfest London Sponsors</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--created--giving-back.html.twig x field--node--created.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--created.html.twig' --> <span>Wed, 06/05/2019 - 09:24</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--created.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--body--giving-back.html.twig * field--node--body.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--body.html.twig * field--text-with-summary.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span><span><span><span><span>UK and US charity A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO) is looking forward to the 2</span></span><span><span><span>nd</span></span></span><span><span> Annual Rocktoberfest-London on 19</span></span><span><span><span>th</span></span></span><span><span> June!

A4C is a wonderful way to leverage our professional networks for a very good cause and to “give something back”; we hope that the British alternative investments community will lend this good cause the high level of support that it deserves.”</span></span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span><span>Legends4Legends is an alternative investment conference featuring legendary figures from the industry. It was founded in 2016 to create an industry charitable event providing the highest quality investment content and the opportunity for international investors and alternative investment fund managers to engage with each other. It will take place on 2 October 2019 in Amsterdam.</span></span></span></span></p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'links__node' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * links--node.html.twig x links.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/navigation/links.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/navigation/links.html.twig' --> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="flag.link_builder:build" arguments="0=node&amp;1=2522&amp;2=bookmark" token="XbYTBprfbcgcOs4m3HOt4fKt_n5sbqyt_I_3M7Nvl20"></drupal-render-placeholder> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'container' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/container.html.twig' --> <div class="print__wrapper print__wrapper--pdf"><a href="/print/pdf/node/2522" class="print__link print__link--pdf">Print</a></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/container.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--giving-back.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig x field--field-author.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field--field-author.html.twig' --> <a href="/author/alphaweek-staff" hreflang="en">AlphaWeek Staff</a> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field--field-author.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-content-role--giving-back.html.twig * field--node--field-content-role.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--field-content-role.html.twig * field--list-string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-content-role field--type-list-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Content role</div> <div class="field__item">Public</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> Fri, 17 May 2019 14:40:51 +0000 AlphaWeek Staff 2522 at https://www.alpha-week.com CME Group, Mayor Rahm Emanuel Award Scholarships For Star Scholars https://www.alpha-week.com/giving-back/cme-group-mayor-rahm-emanuel-award-scholarships-star-scholars <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--title--giving-back.html.twig x field--node--title.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--title.html.twig * field--string.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <span>CME Group, Mayor Rahm Emanuel Award Scholarships For Star Scholars</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--created--giving-back.html.twig x field--node--created.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--created.html.twig' --> <span>Thu, 05/16/2019 - 11:09</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/node/templates/field--node--created.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--body--giving-back.html.twig * field--node--body.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--body.html.twig * field--text-with-summary.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span><span><span>CME Group and Mayor Rahm Emanuel have awarded 25 Chicago Star Scholars with scholarships to fund their continued education at a four-year college or university. Once students graduate from City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) with an associate degree, they will receive a $5,000 scholarship over two years, ensuring more students from all economic backgrounds can access a viable pathway to higher education.  </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>"The Star Scholarship is about ensuring Chicago's hard-working students can pursue the high-quality education they deserve," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "CME Group recognizes these students have drive, determination and passion, which is why we are helping them achieve their dream of earning a degree."</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>"If we want to advance our global economy in the future we must invest in students today," said CME Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Terry Duffy. "We're very pleased to be able to support these talented students in pursuing higher education in our city." </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>CME Group selected 25 students to receive scholarships that will support them in furthering their college career with a bachelor's degree in accounting, management, math, computer science (IT), finance or economics at one of the Chicago Star Partner colleges and universities in the fall.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>CME Group joined the Star Scholars movement in 2017 after a long partnership with the City of Chicago on initiatives designed to help make college more affordable and attainable for CPS graduates. In 1986, CME Group and the City of Chicago launched the CME Group Mayoral Award for Student Achievement, which has awarded more than $2.1 million to thousands of high-achieving CPS students in pursuit of college degrees.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>"CME Group is making a visionary investment in our Star Scholars – it is an investment in the future leadership of our city," said City Colleges of Chicago Chancellor Juan Salgado. "I want to thank CME Group for both its financial support of our Scholars and its record of connecting students to coveted work-based learning opportunities in elite trading firms across the city."</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>Now in its fourth year, the Chicago Star Scholarship program at CCC has helped more than 6,400 CPS graduates attend college tuition-free. Star Scholars are diverse, representing more than 75 Chicago ZIP codes and more than 200 CPS high schools. Nearly 50 percent of first time, full time Star Scholars who started in Fall 2015 graduated from City Colleges within three years, close to double the national average for community colleges. </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>To be eligible for the CME Group Award for Star Scholars Achievement, students must be graduating this May with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or above and a major in accounting, management, math, computer science (IT), finance or economics.</span></span></span></p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'links__node' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * links--node.html.twig x links.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/navigation/links.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/navigation/links.html.twig' --> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="flag.link_builder:build" arguments="0=node&amp;1=2514&amp;2=bookmark" token="Xo_P6cbR1Pp6_JmI3Xb9iRP6oBReEuznDo678Z1dyu0"></drupal-render-placeholder> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'container' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/container.html.twig' --> <div class="print__wrapper print__wrapper--pdf"><a href="/print/pdf/node/2514" class="print__link print__link--pdf">Print</a></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/modules/system/templates/container.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-author--giving-back.html.twig * field--node--field-author.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig x field--field-author.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field--field-author.html.twig' --> <a href="/author/alphaweek-staff" hreflang="en">AlphaWeek Staff</a> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field--field-author.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-content-role--giving-back.html.twig * field--node--field-content-role.html.twig * field--node--giving-back.html.twig * field--field-content-role.html.twig * field--list-string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> <div class="field field--name-field-content-role field--type-list-string field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Content role</div> <div class="field__item">Public</div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/gavias_vinor/templates/fields/field.html.twig' --> Thu, 16 May 2019 10:09:09 +0000 AlphaWeek Staff 2514 at https://www.alpha-week.com
