Nomura Continues Partnership with Tower Hamlets' Oaklands School
London, 20 October 2008 – Nomura, the pre-eminent Asia-based investment bank, today announced it is to continue Lehman Brothers' longstanding partnership with Oaklands School in Tower Hamlets.
The partnership, now running in its 10th year, provides support for a variety of initiatives with the aim to support learning and reward students' achievements.
Through employee volunteering the students and teachers are able to have support for academic as well as extra-curricular activities which enrich and enhance the basic school education. The partnership provides experiences which would otherwise be beyond the reach of most of the students and which could not be met through government funding.
"Nomura has a strong culture of contributing to and supporting the sustainable growth of local communities," said Sadeq Sayeed, Chief Executive of the acquired businesses at Nomura. "We are pleased to announce our continued support for Oaklands School and look forward to engaging with the staff and pupils on a regular basis."
Patrice Canavan, Head Teacher of Oaklands School, said, "We are delighted that Nomura has agreed to step in and maintain the excellent work that we have achieved over the last ten years with Lehman Brothers. We would like to extend our thanks to all the staff from Lehman Brothers who have given their time and resources so generously to our pupils and this partnership and we look forward to developing an equally beneficial relationship with Nomura"
