The Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation’s donation activities are supported through the activities of the Building Society’s colleagues and concentrate on charities proposed by the Society’s members and colleagues. Proposals in areas in which the Yorkshire Building Society has a presence are therefore likely to be favoured. The building society has branches across the UK, including, for example, Barnstaple, Bristol, Plymouth, Taunton and Tiverton in the South West region. A list of all Yorkshire Building Society branches can be found at this LINK (scroll down the page to the section headed “Our Branches”) while this Yorkshire Building Society branch postcode finder should provide the location of others.

The Foundation provides grants from £250 to £2,500 (this was previously £2,000) for UK registered charities in the areas of:

• The relief of poverty.
• Health, and
• Social welfare and the saving of lives.
