FURNESS Building Society has raised £8,460.61 for Bolton Hospice by creating a Bolton Hospice affinity account which allows customers to gain interest on their savings while also supporting the hospice.

Each year Furness Building Society makes a cash payment, from its own funds, to the charity.

Furness Building Society’s Horwich agency team leader, Lorraine Melling, said: “Bolton Hospice provide a fantastic service to people in our community and we are proud to support them by making this donation.”

Stephanie Lacaille from Bolton Hospice, said: “We’d like to thank Furness Building Society for another wonderful donation, raised through the affinity account partnership."
