Staff at a Keighley building society have nominated three local causes to share in a £1,000 charity pot.

The Yorkshire Building Society workers are now asking customers and other local people to vote for how much money should go to each.

Manorlands, Keighley Community Transport and Haworth Riding for Disabled will benefit from the Charity Choices pot.

Voting will begin tomorrow and after two weeks one of the charities will receive £500, one £300 and one £200.

Charity Choices will run at the society’s 43 Yorkshire branches during 2012, with Keighley’s Low Street branch being the first to launch.

Charity Choices is supported by the Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation, which is funded by the society’s Small Change, Big Difference scheme, where members donate the pennies from the interest they receive on their accounts once a year to make a big pot of money.

Small Change, Big Difference has enabled the foundation to donate about £800,000 to more than 300 local charities over the last decade in Yorkshire.

Marie Mullins, manager at the society’s Low Street branch, said pennies make pounds and small change can make a big difference to local charities.

She said: “My team have chosen three Keighley charities that are important to our local community and we’re putting the decision on the amount of money received by each into the hands of that community.”
