As well as supporting the Company of Actuaries Charitable Trust (CACT), the Masters' Walk around the City of London last June raised money for Crisis, The Brain Tumour Charity and the RAF100 Appeal.

At the CACT meeting on 17 January the Master, Nick Salter, presented cheques for £6,500 to Robyn de Wet of The Brain Tumour Charity and Anna de Simoni of Crisis.

Robyn and Anna took this opportunity to thank the Company for supporting them, and each gave a brief summary of the work of their respective charities.
