The Nottingham Building Society has donated £50,000 to three organisations that work to give career aspirations to young people.
In addition to the donation, The Nottingham is providing access to the experience and advice of its team members via virtual volunteering opportunities and other online resources to the organisations – ThinkForward, the National Literacy Trust and Framework.
Young people who take part in ThinkForward’s five-year coaching programme in six secondary schools in Nottingham will benefit from a £30,000 donation by The Nottingham.
