Capital Bank organized a volunteer visit to Al Zahra Care Home in celebration of International Day of Older Persons. During the visit, the employees spent time with 50 residents and took part in a range of recreational and interactive activities, reflecting Capital Bank’s commitment to strengthening social connections and supporting different segments of the community.

During the visit, employees and residents took part in a game of bingo, creating a relaxed and engaging setting for conversation, participation and social interaction.

The visit also highlighted the importance of shared activities and personal interaction in supporting the social and emotional wellbeing of older people. Encouraging regular engagement and inclusion in community activities can help them feel valued, connected and involved.

Touleen Barto, EVP – Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at Capital Bank, said: “This visit reflects how we see social responsibility at Capital Bank: as direct human engagement that goes beyond financial support. Spending time with older people and connecting with them helps them feel valued, cared for and included. Our employees’ participation also reflects the values of empathy, dignity and social responsibility that are central to our culture.”

Barto added that volunteering plays an important role in encouraging employees to serve the community and put the bank’s values into action, helping to build stronger connections across society.

The visit is part of Capital Bank’s corporate social responsibility strategy and its ongoing commitment to supporting humanitarian and social initiatives that make a positive impact, while encouraging employees to play an active role in serving the community.
