Helping to build stronger communities
The Mortgage Advice Bureau Foundation is a grant-giving charity supporting community-based projects that are chosen by our staff, our customers and our business partners.
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
Break - Stepping up for young People
Break works across East Anglia to improve the lives of children and young people who are living in care, on the edge of care, or leaving care. We give children safe and loving homes, including specialist disability residences, and facilitate fostering.
Beautifully Blind
Consultation was carried out with our visually impaired service users about what was important to them. One of the issues identified was loss of identity and self-worth after developing sight loss. Women with a vision impairment often said that they lost confidence and struggled with their self-esteem. It was apparent that feeling good with oneself is centred around one’s appearance.
The Library of Things
From tools for your next DIY project to recreational gear for family outings, and even unique party supplies like a chocolate fountain, Share Bristol’s Library of Things has it all. Say goodbye to unnecessary purchases, and hello to affordability and accessibility. Unlock a world of possibilities without breaking the bank. Whether you’re in need of a drill, tent or specialised equipment, our community-driven charity is here to meet your needs.”
