Our four priorities

We have four priorities that help us to provide real help with real life. These are:

Providing a Place to Call Home.
Improving Financial Wellbeing.
Investing in our People.
Building a Greener Society.

Providing a Place to Call Home

We're here to help people own their own home. 

This includes supporting first time buyers and people who are moving home with a range of mortgages.

Improving Financial Wellbeing

We want everyone to feel in control of their money.

We do this by helping people to save with a range of accounts, giving financial lessons with Money Minds, and partnerships with FareShare and Citizens Advice. 

Investing in our People

We want to unleash the potential of every colleague.

That’s why we champion a diverse, ambitious and supportive culture. 

Building a Greener Society

We are working hard to reduce our impact on the environment.

We’ve partnered with Yorkshire and Humber Climate Commission to support local change.
