Partnership

Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity. Its nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, are specialists in dementia and provide life-changing advice and support to anyone affected by the condition, whenever it is needed. Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible, for as long as possible. Whether it’s on Dementia UK’s Helpline, through phone and video appointments or in the community, they give families the much-needed space to talk to someone who understands. It’s why so many families describe them as a lifeline. 

Our partnership will support Dementia UK to bridge the huge gaps in dementia care and ensure everyone receives the support they need. Through employee fundraising and utilising the bank’s wealth of skills and capabilities, we will help drive Dementia UK’s mission of leading and delivering high quality, expert and accessible dementia care through its specialist Admiral Nurses.  

MQ Mental Health Research is working to create a future where mental illnesses are better understood, effectively treated, and one day prevented. MQ is the only charity that exclusively invests into scientific research across the globe, bringing together everything from cutting-edge neuroscience to social studies to find the answers that we need to transform the lives of the 1 in 4 of us affected by mental illness.

Over £2.1 million was raised for MQ during the partnership, while thousands of employees volunteered their time to support mental health research directly. From helping to fund innovative new projects across the globe, to fast-tracking some of the most promising new developments, the partnership has played a vital role in transforming the face of mental health for generations to come.

“We were thrilled to be chosen as Deutsche Bank’s UK Charity of the Year 2022-2023, and have been blown away by the support we have received throughout the partnership. In just two years, employees have raised over £2.1 million, which is already being invested into some of the most cutting-edge research projects from across the globe with the aim of creating real, tangible change for the 1 in 4 of us affected by mental illness. From raising funds to sharing skills and expertise, the bank and its employees have created a lasting legacy for MQ that will be felt far beyond the end of 2023. We are truly grateful to you all for being such an integral part of our journey towards a brighter future.”
