Workers were asked to nominate a charity close to their heart, that they believe does great work in the community and would benefit from the annual partnership.
Staff and members of the society voted for a shortlist of three charities, with Mentoring Plus chosen as the winner.
Bath Building Society will be raising awareness of the charity throughout the year.
Mentoring Plus helps youngsters who are facing challenges including family breakdown, bereavement, isolation, experience of domestic violence or experience of being in or leaving care.
Becki, the Community Manager at Mentoring Plus, said: “We are delighted that Bath Building Society employees and Members have chosen us as their charity of the year and look forward to working with them to help us raise much needed funds.
“We couldn’t continue to work with as many children and young people as we do across BathNES without the support of brilliant local businesses like Bath Building Society who invest in local charities and communities.”
Kevin Gray, Chief Executive of Bath Building Society, said: “We can’t wait to get started with Mentoring Plus, what a great way to help young people when they may be struggling at school or with life in general.
“We hope to raise awareness of the children’s mentoring services they work tirelessly to provide, giving every child the opportunity to reach their full potential.”
