SABB female staff participated in this event in collaboration with Down's Syndrome Charitable Association (DSCA), in organizing a recreational festival that consisted of many entertaining activities, and attended by 60 Down's syndrome kids in addition to their mothers. The festival took place at Bambolina Recreational Centre, in Nojood Commercial Centre in Riyadh, with the aim of drawing a smile on the faces of these kids, a gesture that reflects the Bank's keen attention to those kids, and to demonstrate the community care for them, and to let them know their position in the hearts of community individuals.

This participation comes as one of the programmes offered by the Bank under the umbrella of "SABB in the Community Programmes", and aims to enhance the relations with humanitarian centers in the Kingdom, by supporting the projects undertaken by charitable societies which provide care to those with special needs. SABB pays great attention to its responsibility towards this category, through the Bank's continuous support to the projects and activities carried out by DSCA, where SABB sponsors three educational and rehabilitation chairs at this centre, for the third year in a row.

In recent years, SABB has exerted extensive efforts to develop SABB in the Community Progrmmes, and innovate new ones in addition to the already launched services such as the annual MBA scholarship programme from UK, SABB sponsorship of the Chair-in-finance at KFUPM, as well as its continued support to charitable societies programmes such as the School Bag Programme, supervised by Orphan Charitable Society (Ensan), and SABB's Annual Blood Donation Campaign.
