Building Society to celebrate 160th Anniversary with public party
Saffron Building Society, the regional mutual serving East Anglia, will be celebrating its 160th birthday with a party in its Saffron Walden branch on Tuesday 28th July.
Members and non-members alike are invited to the event, which will be raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
For every person in the branch wearing one of Saffron's '160th Birthday' badges, Saffron will donate 25p to the charity.
In addition, there will be entertainment, a face painter, cake and candyfloss. The Society will also be holding a raffle for £160, open to all and free to enter. Staff will be collecting donations throughout the day and hope to raise a generous sum.
The party will run from 10am - 4pm, with the cutting of the cake taking place at 11am in the branch on Market Street.
Malcolm White, Saffron Walden Town Clerk and a supporter of the Teenager Cancer Trust said:
"It's brilliant that people in Saffron Walden can support the Teenage Cancer Trust simply by visiting Saffron's branch. We really appreciate Saffron's generosity and would like to wish them a very Happy Birthday!"
John Eastgate, Saffron's Sales and Marketing Director said:
"It's our hope that the party will raise plenty of money for an excellent cause, as well as bringing some added fun and excitement to Saffron Walden during the school summer holiday. The party is another way that we are giving something back to the community in 2009. We feel that we've got a lot to celebrate and want to see as many people as possible on 28th July"
