Emma Simms, Marketing and Communications Manager at Newbury Building Society said: “In a tough economic climate with many organisations facing drastic budget cuts, we continued to work with local groups and community projects which over a lifeline to many local people. From supporting financial literacy sessions to working with those living with a life-changing condition, our Community Support Scheme will continue to help those organisations which seam the fragile fabric of our communities together.”
The Community Support Scheme, which launched in 2017, provides financial assistance to a wide range of local projects involved in improving life within the Society’s 10 branch towns.
