Seven local charities have received funding from the Tipton and Coseley Building Society’s Charitable Foundation.

The Tipton’s Charitable Foundation has awarded cheques with a collective value of £4,610 to six locally based charities, which include, Cares Sandwell, Ideal for All, Listening Books, Murray Hall Community Trust, Sandwell Young Carers, Tipton Education Fund and The BUDS Centre.

In addition, the Charitable Foundation has pledged to double the amount raised at the Tipton’s Charity Golf Day in July, with equal amounts going to Beacon Centre for the Blind and the Compton Hospice.
