Neena Vaswani

UBS client, United Kingdom

I had stopped giving as I really wanted to take a break and find my own voice in my philanthropic giving and figure out where I wanted to give and how. During lockdown, we had some time to get on a call with UBS Philanthropy, and as a family they took us on a journey of finding our philanthropic mission and vision and really look at what areas we wanted to give in. It was a really fun and intimate process. I’ve really enjoyed becoming a deeper part of the UBS family and learning to think differently.
