Society celebrates new partnership with Variety Children’s Charity

Leeds Building Society is celebrating its new partnership with Variety, the Children’s Charity by supporting the topical ‘Star Wars’ gold heart badge campaign. Leeds is the only financial organisation to have the badges on display and they will be on sale, for a suggested donation of £1, at all 65 U.K. branches of the Society until Wednesday 29th February 2012.

Variety’s Star Wars 2012 Gold Heart badges, featuring Star Wars fan favourites C-3PO and R2-D2, will inevitably become part of the highly sought after Star Wars memorabilia as they coincide with the all-new, eagerly anticipated 3D release of ‘Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace.’ in cinemas during February 2012.

The gold heart badge campaign is the first initiative since the partnership between the two organisations was announced in late 2011. This relationship sees Variety join Leeds Building Society’s Caring Saver account. The funds raised through this account will help the charity meet the special needs of more children across the UK, whilst giving savers the opportunity to see the additional benefits from choosing to invest in the Caring Saver account.
