YORKSHIRE Building Society have won top awards for community work — helped by Greenock staff.
The local team contributed to the success by supporting Inverclyde Foodbank and raising £678 for the Marie Curie charity since the start of 2015.
The branch also donated £300 from the society’s charitable foundation to good causes in and around Greenock in the last year.
Greenock branch manager Evelyn Kenny said: “As a mutual organisation owned by our members, we believe that society really matters and that we can make a tangible difference in our local communities.
“This is something we have been doing for more than 150 years, and we’re really proud to have played our part through helping people in Greenock.”
The society was a double winner at the Third Sector Business Charity Awards, taking the top Business of the Year prize as well as the Employee Engagement Initiative of the Year category for its colleague volunteering programme.
