Helping to build stronger communities
Empowering and uplifting our communities by supporting local projects that make a real difference. Chosen and championed by our colleagues, customers and business partners, creating lasting impact and stronger connections across the MAB family.
About the Foundation
In 2022, the Mortgage Advice Bureau established the Foundation to create awareness among its staff and customers of the growing need of the communities they live in or are choosing to move to.
We have partnered with Crowdfunder to give local charities and Community Interest Companies the opportunity to achieve their fundraising goals in a sustainable way and to support our talented and enthusiastic staff and customers to get their best and brightest projects off the ground.
Our Focus
Environment and Conservation
Practical and educational projects to help communities make green choices and reduce their carbon footprints
Health and Wellbeing
Projects to help communities combat health and wellbeing issues so that everybody’s quality of life can be improved
Preventing and Relieving Poverty
Projects to support communities through financial hardship and social exclusion
Projects picked by you
The opportunity to raise funds for specific neighbourhood projects is available to our customers, colleagues and partners across the MAB Network. This includes our employee community, business partners, lenders and protection providers.
This gives many people connected with MAB nationally the opportunity to come together at a local level and do wonderful things in a wide range of communities.

Restore Collective is a registered charity guided by our ethos of “enabling people to thrive. We are dedicated to fostering genuine connection and belonging. We care deeply for people especially those who are vulnerable or marginalised. Welcoming them into friendship, valuing their unique contributions, and walking alongside them on their journey toward flourishing.
R!SE Up
RISE with’ is our community led scheme, which harnesses the support of local organisations to provide life-changing experiences for young people. Coaching provides the foundation of our work, but we want to go further, raising aspirations for our young people. We believe the way to do this is by exposing them to new experiences, which have the potential to be life changing. Whether it’s drumming, boxing, parkour or cooking, these opportunities give young people access to new possibilities, life skills and passions.
