Supporting Our Communities
We are committed to caring for and supporting the communities in which we live and work. For us, social responsibility is a vital component of our culture. From mentoring schemes and Pro Bono work, to fundraising and charity leadership, our people give their time, expertise and energy to make our communities a better place to live and work.
Supporting charities
We provide support to charities in a variety of ways, from donating money to actively taking part in fundraising events and activities. We also offer legal advice to some charities, and a number of our people hold non-executive board positions with various charities across Scotland.
We establish formal partnerships with chosen charities, as voted for by our people, on an annual basis.
Throughout 2024, we are supporting housing and homeless charity Shelter Scotland. You can find out more about how we are supporting Shelter Scotland, and donate if you wish, by visiting our dedicated fundraising page.
