The Thrive Agenda: Our Story

What is our purpose?

Thrive began with a simple belief that a building society should be about more than financial services. It should be about people. About the Colleagues, Customers, and the Communities we serve.

The Journey so Far...

What began as a bold idea is now at the core of our culture. Thrive is part of everything we do, from supporting the next generation, to building homes for families, to giving colleagues a way to make a difference.

Your Voice, Your Mutual, Your Community.

Being a member means you’re not just part of our story — you help write it.

Your voice guides our decisions, shapes our priorities, and strengthens everything we do. Without our members, the incredible work we do to support our communities and help our customers thrive simply wouldn’t be possible.

And it goes even further.

When you save with us, your savings fuel real impact — not only for you, but for the local communities we serve.

Every pound saved helps us support meaningful projects, create opportunities, and make a difference where it matters most.

At MHBS, you’re part of something bigger. You’re not just saving — you’re building a future for your community.

Where Your Savings Make an Impact

More Than Just an Account

It’s great to see how much Market Harborough do for the local community, we weren’t completely aware of it when we got our accounts but was pleasantly surprised with the amount of good work that goes on, from helping with the Local housing Initiative, Foodbanks and local charities, its great to be apart of that and feel like we are doing something as well.
