Monmouthshire Building Society Charitable Foundation

Monmouthshire Building Society Charitable Foundation

Modest donations from the Monmouthshire Building Society's independent charitable foundation. They go to charities, voluntary and community organisations and clubs in south Wales, Powys and the border counties whose work helps disadvantaged or vulnerable people. Causes include poverty relief, community development, arts, culture and heritage, the environment, animal welfare and people in need because of youth, age or disability. Directors decide quarterly, and recent awards have mostly been between £300 and £1,100.
