Building society praised for community support
Mansfield Building Society has been recognised for its support and dedication to the community by Mortgage Finance Gazette, which awarded the society its prestigious Highly Commended award for community service. The award recognises the
momentous year in which the society helped establish the Prince’s Trust in Mansfield, raised over £6,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support and increased its total Community Support Scheme donations to more than £150,000
since the scheme’s formation. Richard Crisp, Commercial
Development Executive at Mansfield Building Society, said: “Mortgage Finance Gazette is a leading publication for the mortgage industry. With the awards now in their 16th year, we are incredibly proud to receive the Highly Commended award in recognition of the contribution we make to support the local community. “As a regional building society, it’s great to be noticed on a
national scale for the hard work and energy that all our staff put into community projects and fundraising events. “The foundation of our
community work is embedded in our mutual ethos, whether it’s our fundraising and community involvement, our personal approach to mortgage lending or the value we pay to our local and loyal savers. We’ve been supporting our Heartland community for over 147 years and we intend to carry on this tradition for at least 147 more.”
