Savvy savers help raise £12,000 for Pendleside Hospice

Raised through the affinity saving accounts held by Marsden members, the donation - presented on Wednesday, October 4th - came to a total of £12,669.03, with the more that members save meaning the more Marsden donates.

For every £1 saved in a Marsden affinity account, the building society will pay a donation to the affinity charity of your choice, with over £102,000 donated to Pendleside Hospice since 2010 with the support of their member.

Philippa Farebrother-Dunn, Head of Retail, said, “It’s great to be a part of a business that gives back to the local community and that is recognised by both our staff and our members.

"Pendleside touches so many people locally and as a result, the community gets behind them, which is shown in the amount that is raised through our Affinity accounts," she added. "It’s a great way to show our support for a fantastic charity.”

Christina Cope, Fundraising Manager at Pendleside Hospice, said: “We’re very grateful to have support from Marsden Building Society and this annual donation from their Affinity Accounts – it’s an important amount that has been raised and we’re delighted that the money raised will help to continue delivering our service to people with life limiting illnesses and their families.”
