The Mutual Bank is partnering with local charities to help make the lives of families facing a bleak winter, a little easier.
Winter can be a tough time for many families with the cold weather leading to increased utility and food bills, putting extra pressure on finances.
The Mutual Bank’s CEO Geoff Seccombe said he was pleased his team had started the initiative and hoped the community would get behind the Winter Appeal.
“We are thrilled our team is getting behind this appeal and hope that the community will too, perhaps by dropping even just one extra item into their shopping trolley with the thought it will ease someone else’s plight,” he said.
“No donation is too small and each item can go a long way to making someone else’s winter a little easier.”
