Making a big difference THREE charities received a share of £100,000 from Yorkshire Building Society’s Charitable Foundation after being nominated by people in Mansfield Woodhouse.
Amazon Breast Cancer Support Group, Headway and the Maun Conservation Group were given £100 each from the society’s Small Change Big Difference campaign, where members donate the pennies from the annual interest on their accounts to help charities and good causes. A total of 1,000 charities and good causes received a share of £100,000 after being nominated by people at Yorkshire Building Society branches and agencies around the UK.
Chris Dunn, proprietor of the Yorkshire’s Mansfield Woodhouse agency, said: “I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came in and nominated a charity for a donation during our Small Change Big Difference Month campaign. “At Yorkshire Building Society, we are committed to being at the heart of our community and I hope these donations will enable the charities to carry on their wonderful work here in Mansfield.” The Amazon Breast Cancer Support Group helps breast cancer patients at King’s Mill Hospital, Sutton; Headway supports people with brain injuries; and the Maun Conservation Group works at the Oakham and Quarry Lane nature reserves and Titchfield Park in Mansfield.
