The Branch at Jubilee Centre in Paddock has received a donation from Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation after being nominated by colleagues from the society’s Huddersfield branch.
The Branch received the £1,500 donation from Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation to help it fund its support groups.
The charity offers support for the community, including a foodshare scheme, support groups and it responds to requests for practical help, food and household items.
It is a grassroots organisation developed by passionate volunteers from the needs in the community.
The charity was nominated after two customer consultants from the Huddersfield branch, Jan Starkey and Gemma Barclay, volunteered with the charity and saw first-hand the work the charity does.
Customer consultant Jan said: “We are proud to be able to support The Branch at Jubilee Centre, in our community in Paddock with a donation from Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation.
“The work that they are doing to support vulnerable members of our community has such an impact in our area.”
Charlene Novak, community projects and events co-ordinator for The Branch at Jubilee Centre, said: “The Branch would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the generous donation of £1,500. The support means the world to us and to those we serve.”
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.
Last year the foundation donated over £283,000 to local causes and charities nominated by members and colleagues from around the UK.
