Leeds Building Society is inviting UK-based community organisations to apply for a share of £150,000 to mark its 150th anniversary in 2025,

Organisations can apply for an unrestricted grant of up to £30,000 and applications must align with the Society’s aim of supporting vulnerable people to find a place to belong through housing and their community.

Funding decisions will be made by a panel of selected building society colleagues who are passionate about supporting local good causes.

The Society’s colleague panel will be making decisions around the funding in June 2025.

Leeds Building Society's responsible business lead Wendy Carter said: “We’re pleased to be able to offer this funding and celebrate our mutual roots by giving back to communities and empowering people across the UK into safe and secure housing.

“Last year, we donated over a million pounds to charities in support of our purpose of putting home ownership within reach of more people, and we’re continuing to put our words into action by encouraging charities to apply for this funding in celebration of our milestone anniversary.”
