What we do for charity

Nationwide is committed to supporting charities and local communities – and here are just a few examples of how we do this:

  • We give at least 1% of each year’s pre-tax profits to charity, community and environmental activities
  • All Nationwide employees are given two days paid leave to volunteer and spend their time benefiting the local environment or community
  • We support ‘Every Penny Helps’, enabling many Nationwide employees to voluntarily give a small part of their salary to charitable causes
  • We’ve contributed £16 million to local communities since 2012 through investment and fundraising
