People in Borehamwood were invited to join in with Yorkshire Building Society’s 150th anniversary celebrations by nominating small charities and good causes in their community to receive a share of £150,000.
The building society’s charitable foundation has made the donation available — £1,000 for every year it has been in business — as part of its annual Make a Difference campaign.
Colleagues at the society’s local Borehamwood agency called on local residents and shoppers to call in to the office in Shenley Road and nominate a charity or good cause close to their heart.
All nominated charities will now be considered to receive a £100 share of the charitable foundation’s anniversary donation and donations will be handed out to the successful good causes in the next few weeks.
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.
