Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme ensures we respond to communities in ways that matter to them the most. Our programme has two primary purposes:

Firstly, demonstrating our core best practice behaviours:

• Ensuring our commitment to providing responsible Financial Services
• Serving our customers with honesty and integrity
• Considering the contributions of our employees at all times and ensuring recognition of their part in our success
• Striving to optimise benefits for our Members

Secondly, this programme ensures our on-going commitment to our communities. These are enshrined in our roots as a Society, having been established in 1953 to help local people buy their own homes.

Our support isn’t only financial. We are proud of our involvement with local initiatives in many other ways.  We’re honoured that our community contributions have also been recognised over the years with awards, including the ‘Best Local Building Society’ at the What Mortgage Awards.

We are also committed to:

• Being clear, open and honest in all our communications
• Maintaining local support by sourcing business services neighbouring our branches
• Managing our environmental impact
