Earlier this year the National Trust teamed up with The Derbyshire Building Society to launch a unique savings account which enables people to save and support us in protecting the places we care for.
For every 'National Trust Derbyshire Savings Account' opened, The Derbyshire has pledged to donate the equivalent of 1 per cent of average balances during the year to conservation projects in Derbyshire. In the first year the conservation of two paintings by Benedetto Luti at Kedleston Hall will be supported, in addition to the restoration of dry stone walls in the Peak District.
Peter Richardson, Chief Executive of Derbyshire Building Society, said:
'Being local is what matters to us and we are committed to supporting local causes in our community, so we are delighted to launch this new account. The National Trust East Midlands does such an important work in preserving our local heritage and conserving the Peak District, one of our best-loved landscapes.'
'With this account, not only do investors benefit from a competitive rate of interest, the more they save, the greater the contribution to protecting local historic sites such as Kedleston and the spectacular Peak District for future generations.'
Rebecca Speight, Regional Director of the National Trust in the East Midlands said:
'We are very excited that the National Trust will be benefiting from this new Derbyshire savings account. As a registered charity we rely on other sources of income to help us protect the nation’s heritage and the funds raised through this new account will make a huge difference to our conservation projects.'
If you’d like to save and support us in our conservation work you can open an account at any of The Derbyshire’s 52 branches, by calling 08456 004 005 or by visiting the website: www.thederbyshire.co.uk .
