Staff from Danske Bank’s Operations team recently spent the day volunteering at Action Mental Health New Horizons in Antrim. The team enjoyed the sunshine while they worked in the garden, which is used by both clients and the Men’s Shed.
John Davis, Service Manager, Action Mental Health said, “Danske Time to Give provides employees with one day’s leave to volunteer with one of their community partners. We are always delighted to welcome Danske Bank staff to our Antrim service as they make such a difference during the time they spend volunteering here.”
