After considering a number of local charities, all colleagues at the building society had the opportunity to nominate and vote for their preferred choice and Alzheimer’s Society came out top.
Throughout 2023, the society team will be fundraising and volunteering for the charity, helping support more than 12,700 people estimated to be living with dementia across Nottinghamshire.

Hide AdAlice Grewcock, community fundraiser for Alzheimer’s Society in Nottinghamshire, said: “We are delighted Mansfield Building Society has chosen us as its charity partner.
“It’s thanks to them and other dedicated supporters that Alzheimer’s Society can be a vital source of support for anyone affected by dementia and a powerful force for change.
“Too many face dementia alone. We will not rest until people with dementia and their carers live more fulfilled and less fearful lives, free from stigma and inequality.
“We look forward to seeing Mansfield Building Society’s fundraising achievements, as well as the awareness they raise locally.”
