Supporting the Community
Our actions speak louder than words
Here are some of the ways we get involved
The Society provides financial support and practical assistance to local charities and organisations through its associated Charitable Foundation and the Society’s Charity Day Off scheme, which gives all members of staff a day off each year to work with local charities and good causes.
In addition the Society gets involved with many local community based events covering a range of activities.
We understand that Coronavirus (Covid-19) has had such a devastating impact to so many, so we have tried our best to support various charities and community groups throughout this pandemic..
Thank you NHS and all key workers
Society employees, their children and grandchildren have been busy getting creative. Lots of messages of thanks and rainbows are brightening up our branch walls, doors and screens.
Charitable Foundation grants
The Society’s Charitable Foundation has already granted Women’s Aid Leicestershire and South Leicestershire Foodbank with £5,000 each. If you represent a local charity or voluntary group and are looking for funding for a capital project between £250 – £5,000, the Foundation may be able to help.

£10,000 donated to Leicestershire Cares
we’ve joined four other local Leicestershire building societies – the Melton, Loughborough, Earl Shilton, and Hinckley & Rugby to donate £10,000 to Leicestershire Cares. This donation is to help people in need, especially during the Coronavirus crisis. To find our more visit our news and views article .
