Nationwide Fairer Futures

Youth homelessness, family poverty, dementia and cancer affect so many people of all ages across the UK. With our charity partners, and our members, we have helped over 200,000 people since June 2024.

Helping people across the UK

We have partnered with Centrepoint, Action for Children, Dementia UK and The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity to help tackle four of the biggest issues we see in society today: youth homelessness, families living in poverty, the challenges faced by people living with dementia and people affected by cancer.

  1. 140,181

    children and parents living in poverty or experiencing financial hardship received vital funding and support.

  2. 4,713

    young people facing homelessness supported with a safe space to rebuild their lives.

  3. 55,847

    people living with dementia and their carers supported by dementia specialist Admiral Nurses.

And our funding has enabled:

    specialist staff working on over 120 active clinical trials aiming to achieve breakthroughs in cancer treatment.

Transforming lives with our charity partners

Centrepoint

We’ve been able to help Centrepoint support young people with emotional, practical and financial support to help break the cycle of homelessness. Our funding enables Centrepoint to provide safe, secure accommodation, refurbish homes and fund deposits so young people can rent their own homes.

Action for Children

Our funding supports Action for Children's Family Fund and Family Clubs. Family Fund help families buy food, pay bills or enjoy special experiences that they would not otherwise have been able to afford. Family Clubs create welcoming, safe spaces in local communities, while also building supportive relationships with other families.
