Community investment and sponsorships

The firm also has a policy of encouraging employees in their personal charitable giving and fundraising efforts. Staff are able to volunteer in work time and Barclays Wealth will match any monies raised through a staff member's individual fundraising efforts.[3]

gollark: But... Unicode?
gollark: > I don't know how to write low-level Haskell and quite frankly I don't think I want to knowJust give people the option of using `Text` (UTF-16 ææææ), `String` (not even a UTF æææææææææ), or `[Word8]` (what could possibly go wrong).
gollark: So, I don't know exactly how Pascal works, mostly just that it has length-prefixed strings? But I think that having the length prefixes be different... lengths... introduces problems compared to just, say, a usize stored with the pointer.
gollark: UTF-8 all the time always µhahahaha.
gollark: 7-bit ASCII is... fine?
