Bath Building Society announces 2024 Charity Award winners

Eight Charities and Community Groups from the local area are sharing £6,500 from Bath Building Society’s Annual Charity Awards scheme.

Organisations including Bath Food Bank and Oldfield Park Infant School PTA are among this year’s successful applicants.

The Awards were established in 2006 to support as many local initiatives as possible from the growing number of requests the Society receives each week.

Richard Ingle, Chief Executive of the Society, said, “The Charity Awards are very important to us and a way for the Society to give something back to the local community. It is amazing the work some of these organisations and volunteers do, and the local people that they help on such little funding. I’m just glad we can help!

“I’d like to thank the Judges for spending their time to help our team choose the winners of our Awards; Alan Keeling from The Rotary Club Bath and Claire Wynne Hughes from The Quartet Community Foundation. It was tough to whittle down support to just eight charities, but we are happy to be supporting some incredible projects tackling very real issues in our community.”
