A charity has received a donation of £1,000 from The Mansfield Building Society’s Community Support Scheme to help fund a secure tool shed and maintenance area for tools and machinery.

The Inspire Community Garden, Chesterfield, and relies solely on the work of volunteers and charitable donations to maintain its land.

The community garden encourages people of all ages and abilities to get involved, developing a sense of community.
Jade Butt, senior branch customer advisor, said: “After volunteering last year, it was great to visit the garden again.

“It has come a long way in such a short space of time and I know our donation is going to help the Inspire Garden grow even more.”

Mansfield Building Society’s Community Support Scheme funds groups and organisations in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

It meets twice yearly, in May and November, to consider applications. To find out more or to download an application form, go to mansfieldbs.co.uk/community-support
