Charity

As an international group that thrives on the diversity of its workforce, BGC Partners recognises the importance of contributing to our local, national and worldwide community. We support a wide range of charity work, from mentoring programmes for young people who’ve had a tough start in life to cancer research.

We also hold an annual Charity Day, a vibrant event focusing on a selected group of charities.
