Members of Principality Building Society, the largest building society in Wales,
have raised £20,000 for mental health charity [Mind Cymru](http://www.mind.org.uk)
through the organisation’s AGM voting process.

For every vote received, by post or online, for this year’s 155th Annual General
Meeting, the Society made a donation to the charity.

Principality supports a different charity each year. **The charity is nominated 
by a member of staff** at the Society and then shortlisted among five others, before
being voted as the official charity by staff at Principality’s Cardiff-based head
office, 53 branches and 18 agencies across Wales and the borders.

for its Charity of the Year, MS Society Cymru, a record total for the building society.
