A Barton charity received a £1,000 donation from Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation after being nominated by RNS staff.

Men in Sheds Barton will use the money to fund new equipment after benefitting from the firm's High Street office acting as an agency for the building society.

The charity provides a meeting place for adults over the age of 18 in order to develop their social interaction and develop new hobbies and practical skills.

In addition, the group will provide services to the community. The charity particularly focuses on making provision for socially isolated people and those with mental health issues.

Carol Clayton, Agency Manager of Yorkshire Building Society in Barton, said: “We are proud to be able to support Men in Sheds in our community in Barton with a donation from Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation.

“The charity supports local people by providing a place to learn new skills, which I have seen firsthand, and a place to meet, have a coffee and a chat.

“They are also giving back and helping other local charities by supplying their finished projects.”

Peter Kipling, Trustee of Men in Sheds – Barton, said: “We are really thankful for the donation from Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation that will help us continue to provide our services.”

Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation is funded through the Small Change Big Difference® scheme where members donate the pennies from the interest on their accounts just once a year to help smaller charities around the UK.
