Beverley Building Society<\/a> has agreed to donate to Royal Voluntary Service\u2019s phenomenal effort to ensure no-one is left alone and vulnerable amid the Coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have donated a total of \u00a31,000 \u2013 our next two months\u2019 Charity of the Month pots and \u00a3500 which we would normally spend on the buffet for our Annual General Meeting (which is having to run behind closed doors this year to protect against the risk of COVID-19 infection). The cash will go towards the charity\u2019s vital work in supporting vulnerable older people across Britain who have been forced to self-isolate because of the COVID-19 emergency.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Society\u2019s gift will help the charity reach its target, of raising \u00a31.4million to fund the support people need over the next three months. It will pay for the efficient systems needed to deploy the right volunteers to the right places, at the right time \u2013 as well as covering the cost of food boxes and other basic supplies.<\/p>\n
