SCALLYWAGS Pre-School is set to benefit from fundraising and volunteering support as TSB Okehampton’s new local charity partner for the next 12 months and has presented them with a cheque for £100 to kick-start the partnership.

Lorraine Crocker, play leader at Scallywags Pre-School said: ‘We are delighted to have been chosen as TSB Okehampton’s new local charity partner. The team’s support will make a really positive impact on our charity and the work we do here in Okehampton.’

Nicola Furse, bank manager at TSB Okehampton said: ‘Our local charity partnership programme is all about working in partnership to help support the local causes that are the lifeblood of many communities across Britain.

‘It’s what we’re all about at TSB and we are now entering into our third year of supporting a local charity at our branch, here in Okehampton.

‘I am thrilled to welcome Scallywags Pre-School as our new local charity partner which is close to our hearts here in Okehampton because of the work it does in providing quality education for children aged from two to five years old — we can’t wait to get started.’

Instead of having a centrally chosen charity of the year, partners working at TSB choose the cause they want to support.
