Grants - how we support our communities

We’re committed to improving the wellbeing and quality of life of our customers and developing thriving and resilient communities.

Our grants programmes deliver investment directly into the heart of our communities to improve the wellbeing and quality of life of our customers and to develop thriving and resilient communities. We fund a range of organisations that share our priority themes which include:

• Health and wellbeing
• Employment support
• Reducing isolation
• Young people
• Financial and digital inclusion
• The environment
• Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

We recently held a survey to understand more about what our customers thought about our Grant Funding to help influence the way our grants will help improve the wellbeing and quality of life of our customers. We'd like to say a huge thank you to all those that took part!

Many of you said that you would like to be able to vote for which projects are funded in your area, and nominate a charity to apply for funding. 

We have taken this onboard and will soon be launching our customer voting and charity nomination tools! We are really excited for customers to be able to have their say! Please look out for this coming soon!
