The building society’s Mansfield branch are long-standing supporters of Jigsaw, a mental health charity that helps lonely and isolated people, many of them veterans, in a variety of ways.

The branch team nominated Jigsaw as part of a Christmas initiative that is seeing The Nottingham share a pot of £10,000 with deserving local causes from its recently launched Samuel Fox Foundation.

Funds from the foundation, which is named after the building society’s founder, will support projects and causes that help communities thrive.

Customer Services Consultant Izabella Zygmunt said: “I’m really proud to work for a company that actively encourages and empowers its teams to support organisations that matter most in our community.

“We’re over-the-moon to be able to make such a significant contribution to Jigsaw – they’re a fantastic charity and we are happy our donation will help make life a little better for many people who need and deserve our support the most this Christmas.”
