Community Support
IronFX Global thrives on having a responsible corporate attitude. With this in mind, the company donates generously to local charitable organisations and activities in order to actively engage with the community.
It is impossible to measure the impact one good deed can have in someone’s life, that is why Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is an essential part of the IronFX company policy. With the aim to support children with special needs, IronFX is proud to contribute to cover the expenses of this year’s charity event of The Association of Parents and Friends of Children with Special Needs.
The Association was founded in 1991 and has as its primary objectives the protection and care of children with special needs, by supporting and ensuring that all children’s and their parents' daily problems are met to an acceptable and sustainable level.
The Association is organising a concert by Giorgos Stamataris with conductors Mr Marios Toumba and Mr Neophytos Neophytou, promising a musical journey from the time of Gounaris to that of Kraunakis. The event is called “Two pianos, one voice” and will be held on Wednesday, 5 December, 20:00 PM at the Pattihio theatre in Limassol, Cyprus.
IronFX will further support the events of organisations that create a positive impact in children’s lives.
Reaffirming its socially responsible orientation in supporting vulnerable groups, on November 2017 IronFX attended as a Bronze sponsor the ‘Cyprus Association of Individuals with Clefts & Craniofacial Anomalies, Chrysalida’ fundraising event, of Dr. Zoe Nikolaou. All net proceeds were donated to “Chrysalida” for the psychological and economical support of families of children with clefts and other craniofacial anomalies.
IronFX is offering practical support to the Independent Social Support Body by actively helping students in financial difficulty. The body is committed to providing financial aid to individuals who face difficulties in continuing their university education. The Independent Social Support Body is an initiative of the First Lady of the Republic of Cyprus, Mrs. Andri Anastasiades.
On Sunday, November 6th 2017, IronFX participated as a Bronze Sponsor in the Foundation’s main fund-raising event; the 9th annual charity walk “I’d Rather Walk, Than Drink and Drive”, in Limassol. Defying the difficult weather conditions, dozens of IronFX staff members joined other volunteers and walked for the cause.
Held every November, the event’s aim is to make a difference by preventing further accidents and fatalities caused by people driving under the influence of alcohol. The majority of the funds were allocated to specialized educational and clinical programmes.

IronFX has made a generous donation to the Red Cross Hungary in order to help with the costs of running of a blood donation mobile facility.
The annual plan of the Hungarian Red Cross identifies blood donor recruitment as a major priority. With the Red Cross reliant upon donations and volunteers for its operations, financial assistance is crucial. The money donated by IronFX will help towards the running of the blood donation facility which will serve as a mobile unit, reaching blood donors throughout Hungary.
