Virgin Money Giving
Virgin Money Giving is a charitable not-for-profit company set up by Virgin in October 2009. From 2010 the Virgin Group signed a five-year deal to be the official sponsor of the London Marathon; the inaugural Virgin London Marathon was on 25 April 2010. This sponsorship led to the creation of Virgin Money Giving, with the aim "to help all fund-raisers raise more money for good causes".
Northern Rock also has its own charity, the Northern Rock Foundation, which Virgin will support until at least 2013.

Bring dreams of Christ to dusky cane-lipped throngs.”
