RESIDENTS of Malton and Pickering are being given the chance to bag a £100 for a charity or good cause.
The branches of the Yorkshire Building Society in each town are now taking nominations for charities as part of Small Change Big Difference Month.
Julie Rhodes, manager of the Malton branch, said: "Smaller local charities and good causes can often struggle to obtain the funding they need – and they are exactly who we want people in Malton and Pickering to nominate for the chance to win a donation."
The donations are funded by the society's members who have signed up to the Small Change Big Difference scheme, wherein they donate pennies from the annual interest on their accounts.
Lisa Metcalfe, manager of the Pickering branch, added: "Small Change Big Difference Month is our way of giving something back to the community, so please come in and nominate your favourite local charity or good cause to be one of the lucky thousand to receive a donation."
Nominations can be submitted in the branch up until Saturday, October 15, with winning charities and good causes being notified in November.
