Our Purpose Priorities - Our purpose is Helping Real Life Happen. As a building society, this means delivering three central ambitions:
- Helping people to have a place to call home Helping them towards greater financial wellbeing Creating long-term value for our members
- Wellies outside the front door
- A place to call home
We've also supported people through social housing and our previous partnership with End Youth Homelessness.
Financial well-being
We want to help everyone improve their financial well-being, including:
- People choosing to build up their savings People who have taken part in our financial literacy initiatives and employability skills sessions across our local communities Support for our charity partner Age UK: 2020-2023 and collaborating with Citizens Advice

As a building society, we’re run differently from a bank. We don’t have external shareholders to satisfy, instead, we’re here for the benefit of you, our members. The money we earn is given back to you in interest rates or goes towards paying for the service we provide or gets re-invested to build a stronger society for the future.
