THREE Stourbridge charities are among 1,000 across the UK to benefit from a building society’s scheme.

Mary Stevens Hospice, Camphill Village Trust and Crossroads Care, in Kingswinford, have all been given a £100 donation after being nominated at the Stourbridge branch of Yorkshire Building Society.

The society’s charitable foundation has donated a total of £100,000 to charities and good causes across the country during its Small Change Big Difference campaign.

Adam Keeley, manager of the Stourbridge branch, said: “I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came into the branch to nominate a charity for a donation during our Small Change Big Difference campaign.

“At Yorkshire Building Society we are committed to our community and I hope these donations will enable the charities to carry on their wonderful work here in Stourbridge.”

More than three quarters of a million Yorkshire Building Society accounts contribute to the scheme, and as of 2014, the amount donated by the charitable foundation in Stourbridge was more than £26,000.
