Market Harborough Building Society once again participated in the town's 'Harborough by the Sea' event organised by the Harbrough Improvement Team. This year, children were able to enjoy 2 fantastic days of fun, come rain or shine!
The event saw us giving away free buckets and spades to over 600 creative children. Prizes were handed out for the best sandcastles and the children enjoyed all the on-site entertainment held on The Square, just outside our Branch in Market Harborough.
We ran a free prize draw to win £200 of UK short break vouchers, and handed out over 600 £5.00 vouchers for children to open their own 'Kool Kidz' account with us - not only that, but with a free money box for every account opened, what better way to start saving!
The winner of our £200 prize draw, Lynne Alderson, told us:
"Harborough by the Sea is a good event for local children who are unable to get away on holiday... it is good to see a local Society sponsoring community events in the town which everyone can benefit from".
