Metro Bank’s Manchester store is celebrating International Women’s Day (IWD) on Wednesday 8th March from 10am-12pm with a complimentary networking event in partnership with Music Action International, a charity that targets supporting people who have been through war and the challenges they face in a foreign country, at its Market Street store.

Ramsey Janini, Finance and Operations Manager for Music Action International, will be talking about the charity’s work with people in exile, displaced communities, refugee camps and post conflict settings.
