Clowne: Cash giveaway to local charities

Members of the public are being invited to nominate groups as part of the Yorkshire Building Society’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation has made the funds available, £1,000 for every year of business as part of its annual Make a Difference campaign.

Residents and shoppers in Clowne are being urged to call at the office on Mill Street and nominate a cause between 18th and 23rd August.

All nominated charities will be considered to receive a £100 share of the donation.

Jane Taylor-Davies, national agency manager at Yorkshire Building Society said: “We’re all really excited to get involved in the Society’s 150 year celebrations and to help our agencies be part of the £150,000 giveaway that could help benefit the local community is just brilliant.”

“The Make a Difference campaign is the Society’s opportunity to help some of the smaller causes that can often be overlooked for donations but to whom £100 could really have a positive effect.”

“I hope people will take a minute to call into their local agency.”
