The Society emphasised that their commitment extends beyond financial services, aiming to create lasting, meaningful impact through this collaboration.
Exciting Fundraising Activities Ahead
Kris Broome, Director of Fundraising at St David's Hospice Care, welcomed the partnership with enthusiasm. "We are thrilled to have been chosen by Monmouthshire Building Society as their charity of choice for a two-year partnership," he said.
The fundraising calendar promises to be diverse and engaging, with staff encouraged to participate in various activities including:
- Abseiling adventures
