Marsden Building Society Sponsors Lancashire Investors in Community Dinner

The Community Foundation for Lancashire is delighted to welcome Marsden Building Society as a sponsor of the Lancashire Investors in Community (LIiC) Dinner on 11th September.

The LIiC Annual Dinner is our flagship event celebrating the impact of the LIiC initiative. Now firmly established in the Lancashire business calendar, this invitation-only evening brings together 100 business leaders at the stunning Browsholme Hall.

Marsden Building Society’s sponsorship marks another milestone in our ongoing partnership. A founding LIiC member and donor, Marsden Building Society has a long-standing tradition of community investment since its founding in 1860. By creating a permanent endowment with us, Marsden Building Society ensures its support for local causes will endure for generations.

This year, their commitment expanded further with the launch of the Business Deposit Affinity Savings Account, which donates 0.25% of the average total balance to the Red Rose Responding Fund, supporting mental health and wellbeing initiatives across Lancashire.

“We’re delighted to be a sponsor of the annual Investors in Community dinner. As a founding investor, we’ve seen first-hand the impact both the Community Foundation for Lancashire, and Lancashire Investors in Community have on our region. We’re committed to building something better, and working with the Community Foundation, not only as an investor in community, but with their help in administering our own Charitable Foundation, is helping us to do just that.”

Rob Pheasey, Chief Executive of Marsden Building Society

Lancashire Investors in Community brings together local businesses who believe that, through collective effort, we can drive greater change. Membership contributions directly fund the Foundation’s core work.
