Hospices affinity bank account generates £69,510.90

Howard Lake | 28 May 2005 | News

Cheshire Building Society’s Caring for Hospices affinity savings account has raised nearly £70,000 for 21 hospices in the North West of England.

The hospices set to benefit include East Cheshire Hospice in Macclesfield, which will receive a cheque for nearly £15,000 and St Rocco’s in Warrington and St Luke’s near Winsford will get just over £8,000 each.

Savers can choose which out of the 21 local hospices they wish to support with their affinity account, and invest between £1 and £2,000,000. The Cheshire itself will, at the end of the year, donate 1% of the average total account balances over the year to the hospices taking part in the scheme.
