Community Investment: Building Better Futures

Building Better Futures

Our community investment programme aims to build inclusive and resilient communities through our two strategic priorities, Building Financial Confidence and Building Resilient Communities. We aspire to give people the skills and opportunities to become financially secure and regenerate spaces and places that help people and nature to thrive.

In addition to charity partnerships tied to our priorities, underpinning our Building Better Futures approach is a global network of bespoke projects local to our offices around the world. These aim to provide essential needs for communities to have secure and sustainable futures.

Building Financial Confidence: We know there are a variety of social and structural factors that can make it difficult to save and plan for the future. We want to give people the tools to reach their full potential. Our ‘Building Financial Confidence’ programmes give people skills and opportunities to become financially secure.

Building Resilient Communities: We know not everyone has access to a safe place to call home or outside space. Our main projects focus on repurposing empty spaces and greening communities. We want to regenerate green spaces and places that help people and nature to thrive.
