Christmas festivities at the novobanco Group begin with the usual selection of a solidarity action by employees. The action chosen was Acreditar (Institution Acreditar =Believe) and the expansion of its house in Lisbon from 12 to 32 rooms. Donations from employees and the Bank made it possible to purchase more material for the house than initially expected.

The earthquake in Morocco and the floods in Libya have left millions of people homeless and displaced, as well as causing an ever-increasing number of victims. These are events to which we could not remain indifferent, so we made a donation of 50,000 euros to the UNICEF Emergency Fund and the Red Cross' "Morocco Needs You" campaign.

The choice of these organisations was based on an evaluation of the programmes on the ground and the national and international recognition of these institutions, ensuring that our support reaches the population promptly.
