**Wales’s largest building society, [Principality](http://www.principality.co.uk/)
is extending its support from one to three charities for the next three years.**

With the aim of widening the impact of its charitable giving and build stronger 
relationships with organisations and local communities, from this month, Principality
Building Society will support [Llamau](http://www.llamau.org.uk/), a homelessness
charity for the vulnerable people and women in Wales; [Cancer Research Wales](http://www.cancerresearchwales.co.uk/),
and [School of Hard Knocks](http://www.schoolofhardknocks.org.uk/), a new charity
that uses sport to help disadvantaged communities addressing issues surrounding 
unemployment, health and crime.

The building society has also announced it will match every £1 raised by colleagues
up to a cap of £150,000. In 2015, Principality Building Society raised £90,000 for
its Charity of the Year, Mind Cymru.
