Community In Action
Creating Meaningful Change Locally
As a mutual, giving back isn’t just something we do—it’s who we are. Thanks to the support of our savers, we’re able to invest in local projects and initiatives that make a real difference. Together, we’re creating stronger communities and meaningful change where it matters most.

Voices from the Community
“VASL Community Champions has used Newcombe House to host training for our digital volunteers, and for team meetings. We find the facilities excellent and have always enjoyed a warm welcome. We appreciate having access to such a professional working space.”
Rohini Corfield, Voluntary Action South Leicestershire (VASL)
“With the support from Market Harborough Building Society, the work of the team in getting us established in our new home has been amazing. They have gone far beyond what was expected, and we are so grateful.”
Bruce Harrison, Leicester South Foodbank.
“We’re incredibly grateful for this support. It’s heartening to know that our work resonates with the community and that we’ve left an impression on the winning customer so that they nominated us. This £1,000 will make a real difference. Whilst we already have a range of games, and activities that our clients have the opportunity to enjoy, we want to spend the money on further increasing the range of activities, speakers and events we are able to offer, and this donation will enable us to do so.”
Diane White, Centre Manager at Marlow House.

Newcombe House: A Community Hub
Community is at the heart of everything we do. When we opened our new head office, Newcombe House, we wanted it to be more than just a workplace.
We envisioned a shared space where charities, small businesses, and local groups could come together to collaborate and grow. That vision has become reality. Since opening, we’ve welcomed over 5,000 visitors to our community hub.
What started as a meeting venue has evolved into a vibrant space for interviews, workshops, kids home education session, cookery classes, Business meetings, hot desking, and even a break from working from home.
It’s proof that when we put social purpose first, incredible things happen.
Interested in using our space? We’d love to hear from you!
