Charities and communities
Your communities – unite us all
We believe no family should go hungry. Each of our 64 branches have received £1,000 to donate to their chosen foodbank to enable them to support their local communities.
You've helped us donate £47,040.00 in 2023. This has gone towards helping more than 300 young people who've attended The Positive Youth Foundation (PYF) Youth Clubs. We've provided over 2000 meals to young people and their families and on average more than 50 young people have attended each session.
For a second year we've supported Act on Energy and have donated £110,000 in 2023. So far, our partnership has supported a total of 420 people, of which 364 (87%) received help with their current energy bills. 46 people had their energy debts reduced/cleared and 10 benefitted from replacement heating installations.
