Step into Christmas with our Charity of the Year, Mentoring Plus
Posted on 29th November 24
We’ve loved partnering with Mentoring Plus as our Charity of the Year in 2024, learning more about the work the charity and it’s amazing volunteers do to support young people in our local community.
Throughout the year the Society donates money to the Charity of the Year including £1 for every Member vote at the AGM, proceeds from colleague events and surveys as well as the annual Rotary Club of Bath carol service. Colleagues have also used volunteering days to help the team at Mentoring Plus keep the Riverside Youth Hub running.
Ruth Brown, Community & Relationships Lead at Mentoring Plus, said: “When Bath Building Society chose us as their Charity of the Year, we had no idea it would lead to a freshly painted main hall, beautiful blooms in our garden and a spruced-up basketball court. And for Christmas the fantastic Bath Building Society team has worked their magic once again! This time, they’ve transformed the summer house at Riverside Youth Hub into a magical garden grotto, just in time for our first-ever Christmas Fair.
“This support means so much to us. Riverside isn’t just a youth hub—it’s a safe space for the young people we support through our mentoring programme, youth and art clubs. It also generates vital charitable income for us by hosting events like our Christmas Fair and generating income as a hireable venue.”
