Unity Trust Bank supports organisations that support local communities

Delivering social impact in communities across the UK is at the heart of Unity Trust Bank. In 2023, our lending helped over 1,200 households access housing, from affordable and accessible student accommodation through to supported accommodation for young people at risk of homelessness.

 We also continued to develop initiatives and products to support customers, one of which was The Housing Association Decarbonisation Initiative (HADI). HADI specifically supports housing association to improve the quality and energy efficiency of affordable homes across the UK.

Unity Trust Bank aligns its lending practices to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG 11 focuses on investment in quality, sustainable and affordable housing, public transport, creating green public spaces, and improving urban planning and management in participatory and inclusive ways.
