Furness Building Society raises vital funds for RNLI

Furness Building Society members and Royal National Lifeboat Institution crew members and supporters shared cakes and cuppas to support the charity. RNLI Ladies Guild members ran a tombola and raffle, and Furness staff also promoted the new RNLI affinity account.  The RNLI account offers supporters the opportunity to raise money.  Open an RNLI affinity account and the Furness will make a cash payment each year of 1% of the total of all of the balances held in RNLI affinity accounts. 

Yvonne Athersmith commented: “Visitors to the branch obviously enjoyed the opportunity to support the charity, and we also opened a number of new affinity accounts so it was a tremendous response from Barrow.”
