Community Stars supports local non-profits and we're excited to award the grants of our third and final Community Stars round of 2025.
As a mutual Building Society, we are proud to give back to the community we serve. We do this by supporting local charities and not-for-profits that do important work in and around Greater Manchester and Cheshire. That's why Community Stars exists: to celebrate and fund the non-profits that bring our community together. Here are the awardees for the third and final round of 2025...
