The Tipton and Coseley Building Society has made donations worth more than £4,200 to local Midlands charities through its Charitable Foundation.
Twice a year a panel of Tipton employees and members of the community allocates funds to local charities to help raise educational standards, increase health provision and support the hospice movement.
Donations made by the Foundation in April 2023 included: Murray Hall Community Trust, Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund, Better Understanding of Dementia for Sandwell (BUDS) and St John Ambulance.
These donations will go towards the cost of defibrillators, providing respite breaks to families whose children are receiving cancer treatment through proactive counselling and art therapy assistance, a trip to the seaside for patients living with dementia with their main family carer, and a new community support unit vehicle enabling volunteers across the county to travel to local events responding to first aid requests in greater comfort and ease.
Emma Gibbons, senior marketing and product administrator at the Tipton, said: “Supporting local charities in our community lies at the very heart of the Tipton and Coseley Building Society.
“So, we hope our latest donations to these wonderful charities will go a long way to help them continue the fantastic job they do.”
