For every vote submitted, the society donated up to 35p to FareShare, which recently merged with The Felix Project to expand its national reach.

The visit is part of the society’s ongoing partnership with FareShare UK, through which it funds the Building Skills for the Future programme.

The challenge formed part of Yorkshire Building Society’s £1m fundraising drive for FareShare’s Building Skills for the Future programme.

The aim is to raise over £35,000 towards a £1m fundraising target that will help fund the Building Skills for the Future programme.Â

The six-figure donation means the Cumbria-based building society has given a total of £675,000 to its Kinder Kind of Kitchen initiative since it began in 2023.

Team members helped at FareShare's distribution centre, unloading and repacking food for community groups feeding vulnerable people.

Yorkshire Building Society has raised over £475,000 to fund these programmes.

CEO Sleepout is a nationwide event which sees business leaders sleep outdoors for a night to raise money and awareness for charities that fight homelessness and poverty.

Colleagues from the team have so far raised almost £4,500.

The partnership between the mutual and FareShare will see the creation of employability programmes in seven of the charity’s 34 regional centres.

FareShare was selected as the Bank’s charity partner through a staff vote, with employees opting to back its vital work of redistributing surplus food.
Press Esc to close.
