With monthly and annual interest options, the two bonds will offer an interest rate of 4.05% to savers, [here](https://www.leedsbuildingsociety.co.uk/savings/fixed-rate-bonds/2-year-fixed-rate-monthly-income-bond-supporting-barnardo-s/) and [here](https://www.leedsbuildingsociety.co.uk/savings/fixed-rate-bonds/2-year-fixed-rate-bond-supporting-barnardo-s/). The Society will donate 0.10% of the account balance to the charity, which equates to a £40 donation to the charity for a deposit of £40,000. Leeds appointed Barnardo’s as its charity partner until March 2027 earlier this year. During the three-year partnership, Leeds Building Society has committed to raising a minimum of £300,000 to support care experienced young people to find somewhere to live, learn independent living skills, continue with education, or find work, as part of a campaign called Building Brighter Tomorrows. --- ![](https://wfay6x.infiniteuploads.cloud/2024/09/Book-front-cover-1.png) #### Book written by pupils supports school libraries in Bath & North East Somerset A story book authored by 192 school children at seven schools in Bath and North East Somerset is to help the children’s school libraries, with profits from sales going towards stocking their shelves. The schools have 40% of the region’s most underserved children, and the project has been coordinated by Bath community charity [St John’s Foundation](https://stjohnsbath.org.uk/). The £8.99 book celebrates the charity’s milestone 850^(th) anniversary and is titled‘ The Day the Alien Came’. Bath-based children’s author Stewart Foster helped children from St Martin’s Garden Primary School, St Michael’s Junior Church School, Twerton Infant School and Nursery, St Keyna Primary School, Roundhill Primary School, Castle Primary School, and St Mary’s Church of England Primary School to create the story. The adventure is brought to life with illustrations by Andrew Prescot, and is going on sale on 10 October on St John’s website, as well as in Bath book shops Mr B’s Emporium and The Oldfield Park Bookshop. Each child will also receive a copy. --- > Cheers to Air Ambulance Week, a week dedicated to recognising the vital work of > air ambulances across the UK 🚁 > It's the perfect excuse to buy a bottle of our > charity brew 'Chopper Ale' which raises funds for the awesome crew at [@DevonAirAmb](https://twitter.com/DevonAirAmb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > 🚁[#airambulanceweek](https://twitter.com/hashtag/airambulanceweek?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) > [pic.twitter.com/HBPbQxLvSB](https://t.co/HBPbQxLvSB) > — Bays Brewery (@BaysBrewery) [September 13, 2024](https://twitter.com/BaysBrewery/status/1834526889563521232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) #### Bays Brewery Chopper Ale raises funds for Devon Air Ambulance Bays Brewery’s [Chopper Ale](https://www.baysbrewery.co.uk/products/bottled-ales?_pos=1&_sid=0f21333e6&_ss=r&variant=41368303370314) is a golden ale brewed with a blend of modern UK Olicano hops mixed with those of a more traditional Challenger variety. The Torbay-based brewery is donating 5% of proceeds from sales of this beer, available in bottles, cask and beer boxes, to [Devon Air Ambulance](https://www.daat.org/).
