18 months in, Place2Be's COTY partnership with Bank of America Merrill Lynch has already exceeded all expectations and targets set for its two year duration. In the words of Simon Mackenzie-Smith, Chairman of Corporate and Investment Banking for UK and Ireland: "This is our most successful charity partnership to date and has way exceeded expectations. We have raised nearly twice as much as our original target - but more importantly Place2Be has engaged a large proportion of our workforce, from our senior leaders and through our whole organisation, and raised awareness for mental health generally."
