Unity Impact Grants
Since 2024, we've offered £5,000 grants to a selected number of customers who are making a positive difference in their communities.
Our Unity Impact Grants programme was launched in September 2024 to mark our 40th anniversary. The response was so enthusiastic that we’ve committed to making it an annual initiative.
A grant is a sum of money awarded to an individual or organisation to support a specific project or purpose. Unlike a loan, it doesn’t need to be repaid – it’s a way of giving direct financial help to initiatives that deliver positive impact.
In 2025, we offered customers the chance to receive one of ten £5,000 Unity Impact Grants to help support the change they’re driving in their local communities.
We have a long history of supporting good causes and we’re proud to back grassroots community projects and charities across the UK.
Created through our employee-led Unity & Me programme, Unity Impact Grants are designed to support our people, communities and the planet. The grants are managed by our dedicated Grants & Donations team and are subject to eligibility criteria.
Applications for our 2025 Unity Impact Grants are now closed.
We’ve created our Impact Hub to provide everything you need to measure and strengthen your impact, from practical tools, tailored guidance and other useful resources.
From heritage organisations to frontline charities, our customers are transforming lives and local economies every day.

For over 40 years, we’ve delivered strong returns while funding sectors that make a real difference, from housing and healthcare to education and community growth.
