Newcastle Building Society has provided trusted financial products and services for more than 150 years. As one of the biggest building societies in the North East, we’re still small enough to care deeply about our members, employees and the communities we serve. Our Head Office sits at Cobalt Business Park in North Tyneside, with high-street branches across our region. Because we’re committed to the principles of mutuality, it means we put our customers and the communities we serve first. We pride ourselves on our friendly, knowledgeable service that starts and finishes with a smile.

We're fundraising to help them buy a new van, that will help them make even more deliveries, and be better for the environment. 🚛 You can help by donating food and toiletries at your local branch, or by making a monetary donation during their Big Give Week, 3rd – 10th December, where donations will be matched! 👏 Find out more about Fare Share North East: https://bit.ly/3O6VzSs
