A FOUNDATION will be able to help dozens of young people with cancer after a building society donated a huge £20,000.
Nationwide branches across north Essex nominated to help the Tom Bowdidge Youth Cancer Foundation after co-founders Nikki and Richard Bowdidge appealed for help.
Julie Nurse, who oversees Nationwide branches in Clacton and Frinton, said: “We all just had tears in our eyes after hearing Tom’s inspirational story.
“There was never any doubt in our mind afterwards that we wanted to help the Foundation.
"The local branch celebration, which was held virtually, was only meant to be 20 minutes but we were so moved it lasted more than an hour.
