Building society supports efforts to boost a trio of local charities
FUND-RAISING and food collecting are top of the list of Christmas activities at The Nottingham Building Society in Rothley as it tries to spread festive cheer alongside a trio of local charities.
The building society team are supporting Alex’s Wish and The Jake McCarthy Foundation by providing them with gazebos from which they can fund-raise at this year’s Rothley Christmas lights switch-on and market (Thursday, November 30).
And from now until December staff are also collecting non-perishable food items at the branch on Woodgate that will be boxed up and presented to Rothley Food Bank for them to distribute as food parcels to families in need in the area.
Assistant branch manager Samantha Rudin said: “We have supported Alex’s Wish and The Jake McCarthy Foundation for quite a few years now and are proud to link up with them again by providing gazebos for one of the biggest nights of the year in Rothley.
“They are both fantastic causes and we thought that this Christmas we would build on our community engagement - something we are very passionate about and proactive with at The Nottingham - by supporting Rothley Food Bank too.
“We are hoping lots of people will donate items so we can ensure as many families as possible benefit from food parcels over the festive period.”
