Our community impact
At Nottingham Building Society, community isn’t an add-on. It’s part of who we are.
As a mutual, owned by our members, we exist to serve people, not shareholders. That responsibility extends beyond financial products and into the communities where our colleagues live and work.
Since launching our formal community programme in 2011, we’ve donated more than £1.6 million to charities and non-profit organisations supporting people who need it most. But our impact goes far beyond funding alone. Through volunteering, fundraising and long-term partnerships, our colleagues play an active role in creating positive, lasting change.
In 2025, our teams contributed nearly 4,000 hours of volunteering time, with half of colleagues getting involved - our highest level of colleague volunteering time on record and the fourth year in a row in which our colleagues have broken the record set the previous year.
We were also proud to be shortlisted by The Business Desk in the Community Impact Award category during 2025s East Midlands Business of the Year Awards.
Our focus: tackling homelessness and unlocking opportunity
Over the past few years, we’ve sharpened our community strategy to focus where we believe we can make the greatest difference: supporting people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and helping young people build pathways into stable futures.
This focus reflects both the growing need across our communities and our belief that safe housing, opportunity, and security are fundamental to long-term wellbeing.
We work with trusted charity partners to deliver practical support, fund essential services and give people the stability they need to move forward.
