Our branches and head office have been spreading some festive cheer through the annual donations to our ten charity partners.
The communities our branches operate in form the heart of the Society.
We're passionate about giving back to nearby communities. Each year, we support a wide range of local organisations through our Community Support Scheme.
We consider applications in a number of different categories, including those that:
Promote and encourage sporting activities.
Promote and encourage activities in the arts.
Support education and development.
Benefit the environment.
Typical grants range between £100 and £500.
Applications for our Community Support Scheme funding will be considered four times a year:
Round 1: all applications must be submitted by Friday 31 January 2025
Round 2: all applications must be submitted by Wednesday 30 April 2025
Round 3: all applications must be submitted by Thursday 31 July 2025
Round 4: all applications must be submitted by Tuesday 30 September 2025
Applications received between rounds will be assessed at the next panel meeting.
This kind donation has reinforced our view that this is a caring and community led organisation that genuinely cares and gives back to the community in which it works.
