Tuesday, 26 May 2009 CHARITIES and community groups could soon benefit from a cash boost thanks to a week-long giveaway.
The Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation is inviting people to nominate good causes in Windermere to share in its Make a Difference Week. The week runs from May 29 until June 6, when existing customers and members of the public are urged to call into the branch in Crescent Road to recommend a charity to receive a £50 donation. Joanne Varey, branch manager, said: “Make a Difference Week offers the foundation the chance to support smaller, local charities that are often overlooked by large organisations but which are important to the communities where our staff and members live and work. “Last year, more than 1,000 local good causes were nominated for support during a similar event which resulted in over £54,000 being donated. “We hope this year’s event rivals this success and that people will call into our branch to nominate their favourite local charity.
“Together we can really make a difference.â€
