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.
Check out the projects we're currently supporting
In Tune Radio
Young people today can struggle to gain essential workplace life skills due to school systems that some young people find challenging, with rapid changes in technology and a lack of real-world work experience. This project directly addresses a charitable purpose by advancing education, promoting digital inclusion, and fostering the personal development of young people, some of whom may be disadvantaged due to their personal socioeconomic situation. The project provides structured, non-formal learning in media literacy, journalism, technical audio production, and communication. This goes far beyond standard school curricula.
Share Bristol
At Share Bristol our vision is that everybody shares, so we’re making it easier for everyone in Bristol to borrow everyday things they don’t need every day – tools, camping equipment, party kits, games, kitchen gadgets and so much more. We help people to save money, save space in their homes, and live more sustainably, reducing their impact on the environment through our community-led Library of Things.
Cook for Good
Cook for Good is an award-winning social enterprise that brings businesses and communities together through food. We’re tackling food insecurity, social isolation, health inequality and barriers to work on a social housing estate in Kings Cross, through a fantastic community food and cooking programme.
