TSB Largs is giving Age Concern in Largs £200 to help with organising Christmas lunch at the AD Cameron Centre which supports vulnerable elderly people in the town.

The donation is part of a nationwide Christmas donation programme by TSB, which is giving every one of its branches money to gift to a local cause, as a little extra support at this time of year.

TSB has given more than £1.7 million to local causes across Britain since its local charity partnerships launched in 2015.

This year a record 27,000 nominations were received from local charities across the country to join the programme which sees TSB Partners from 550 branches and eight office sites volunteer and raise money on behalf of the chosen charities.

Fiona Giffney, Local Manager, TSB Largs, commented: “We’re delighted to be able to help Age Concern Largs with this donation. We chose to give this money to Age Concern because we know that they really need support over the Christmas period. It’s fantastic to know that the £200 we are giving them will really make a difference to people in our local community.”

Ray Isted, Committee Member, Age Concern says: “We'd really like to thank TSB for the team’s support. It’s great to see a national company supporting the communities they serve at such a local level. TSB’s donation is really helping us share the Christmas cheer by funding the annual Christmas dinner for elderly people in the town who have nowhere else to go."

TSB’s Christmas donations are part of the Bank’s approach to charitable giving which supports small local causes that matter to its customers where they live and work, rather than focusing on one, centrally chosen charity of the year.

TSB Largs’s Local Charity Partner for 2017/18 is The Butterfly Club.
