Yorkshire Building Society in Southport reach
its ₤7m donation
THE Yorkshire Building Society
Charitable Foundation has thanked people in Southport for helping it to reach
its ₤7m donation milestone. More than 100 charities and good causes have
received more than ₤43,000 through the Society's Southport branch since the
Charitable Foundation's first donation in 1999. Derian House Children's Hospice,
Southport Talking Newspaper and Sporting Challenge are among those to have
benefitted from donations. Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation is
funded through the Small Change Big Difference®
scheme where members donate the pennies from the interest on their accounts just
once a year to help smaller charities around the UK.
Karen Cannon, manager of the Southport branch of Yorkshire
Building Society, said:- "We're delighted to be able to celebrate the
Charitable Foundation reaching its ₤7million donation milestone. We would not be
able to do this without the support of our members who fund the Charitable
Foundation and we thank them for recommending such worthwhile causes. As a
mutual organisation, we're committed to making a positive and lasting impact on
the communities we serve. It's remarkable what a big difference the Charitable
Foundation has made, not only here in Southport, but in communities all around
the UK."
The Charitable Foundation supports UK registered charities which improve
people's health, save lives and tackle poverty in line with the Society's
commitment to creating a lasting and positive impact on the communities where
its members and colleagues live and work. To nominate a charity for a
