A team of badminton enthusiasts from Citi took on JP Morgan colleagues in a tournament held at University of East London Sports Dock on 21 July. 

The tournament was a chance for novice and experienced players alike to compete with colleagues.

British sprinter, Dwain Chambers, also joined the event to present the trophies. 

Citi colleague, Devika Selvakumar, organised the event as a way to raise awareness and funds for Richard House and Haven House Children's Hospices - Citi's Charity of the Year partners. Over £700 was raised on the night and the next two events will help with Devika's aim to raise a total of £4000 for the hospices. 

They are planning a doubles event in October and a singles tournament in January 2017. 

Thank you also to Daniel Lapena Gomez for taking some fantastic photographs at the event, including the one of Dwain above. These are available to view here.
