Social impact

We protect today and invest in tomorrow through our charity partnerships with Turn2us and Cancer Research UK, and accelerate innovation through our Changemakers Programme for bold social enterprises.

As a proudly customer owned business, we take a longer term view, making sure we deliver positive change on behalf of our members, customers and their families.

Our social impact work is how we help drive meaningful change for wider society by helping people to build financial resilience and move fairly to a sustainable world.

Protecting today with Turn2us

Our partnership with national poverty charity Turn2us allows us to help provide immediate financial support to vulnerable people in society impacted by the cost of living crisis.
