Coventry Building Society has produced a new savings bond that will generate income
for Cancer Research UK.

The Race for Life Bond is a 22 month savings bond that pays 2.10% AER/gross p.a.,
fixed until 30 April 2015. The Society will donate 0.10% of the total balances held
in the [bond to fund Cancer Research UK](http://www.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk/savings-and-investments/fixed-rate-bond/fixed-rate-bond.aspx).

Coventry Building Society has created other charitable accounts. Its Poppy Bond 
for example, although it is no longer available, has generated over £8 million for
The Royal British Legion in the last five years. It also runs a number of [affiliate accounts](http://www.coventrybuildingsociety.co.uk/savings-and-investments/affinity-accounts.aspx)
that generate income for football and rugby clubs. The Willow Trust and Cotswold
Care Hospice also benefit from savings products.
