Powering communities

Our long-term partnership with Newcastle United Foundation helps them deliver their lifechanging work.

With The Prince’s Trust, we help to build the skills, confidence and experience of our region’s young people to help set them on the path to employment.

We’re proud supporters of the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, with donations totalling more than £3m over the past decade in support of their extraordinary work on the early detection and treatment of cancer.

We’ve partnered with Citizens Advice Gateshead to provide a dedicated service for members and colleagues, providing confidential advice and support on a range of issues.

Through the Newcastle Building Society Community Fund at the Community Foundation, we provide grants to local charities across the North East, Cumbria, and North Yorkshire.

Our colleagues love to get involved and help their communities make positive changes.

We believe in the importance of investing in our branch network, helping maintain high street access to financial services and face to face interactions.

All our branches now offer Slow Shopping sessions, providing a safe, welcoming and calm environment to those who need a little extra time, space and support.

Joining the UK's biggest ever initiative to change how people act, think and talk about dementia, we're proud to be Dementia Friends and you can join us!
