We pride ourselves in having a positive social impact on every community that we’re a part of.

One of the ways in which we do this is through our Community Investment activities.

 

Creating sustainable change through partnership

We listen to the needs of our local communities and partner charities to understand where we can add value and help them deliver long-term impact, whilst ensuring it has meaning for our employees and our business.
 
Through our big and small actions, alongside the skill and passion of our talented people, we’re committed to making a difference in areas that are aligned to our business and values: 
 
-    Serving and supporting the Armed Forces and their families
-    Enhancing skills and STEM education
-    Supporting the people in our local communities
-    Preserving the nation’s heritage

Our Stories
Things we are proud of

Our contribution

We contribute in the form of financial donations or sponsorship, in-kind support, employee payroll giving, volunteering and fundraising.
Globally we contributed more than £11.5m during 2022 to local, national and international charities and not-for-profit organisations.
 

Defining our impact

We use the B4SI Framework methodology to define the value of our support and its impact on our community partners, in comparison with our peers and other organisations. Our reporting data is externally assured every year, and all community investment-related expenditure and any associated employee fundraising are reported through an online system and validated by an external assurance provider.
