As well as helping households save money, we aim to make a positive difference to our people, the wider community and the environment.
In early 2022, our colleagues voted to support CALM – Campaign Against Living Miserably – as our charity partner.
We stand together with CALM, united against suicide, and have donated over £264k to support the CALM helpline answer over 21,000 calls as well as reaching millions through their campaigns and online resources.
We actively champion partner charities as well as supporting the communities in which we operate. Through our partnerships with CALM and the MSE Charity, we strive to broaden and deepen our impact and create a legacy, targeting our support to those most in need.
Charity partners
CALM
Now in its second year, our partnership with Campaign Against Living Miserably, a suicide prevention charity, has been multi-award winning. Winning both the CIPD award for Best ESG Initiative and the Newsworks award for Best Social Impact Campaign for Money Talks. Colleague engagement with CALM remained phenomenal with fundraising events in 2024 leading to a donation of £127,278 to the charity, taking us to an overall figure of £264,214 or 21,656 life-saving calls.
A highlight to the partnership in 2024 was the Money Talks campaign. This initiative aims to break the stigma around discussing money worries. Our research showed that financial stress is a major cause of suicide, and many people have never spoken about their money worries. The campaign includes engaging videos, guides on starting conversations about money, and a comprehensive Money Talks report. These resources are open source and available on the MoneySuperMarket and CALM websites.
We have donated over £264,000 to CALM over the past two years which will fund 21,656 potentially life-saving calls to CALM's helpline."

Our community fund, set up to support small scale grass roots local charities, has donated to 37 causes this year, totalling £31,243 in donations. Through the community fund, we empower colleagues to make a real difference in their communities by actively connecting with charity groups. In 2024 we were able to support Christmas food boxes for local families through the “Big Christmas Share” initiative, supporting homeless and family services near our offices, donating to schools for equipment, books, and trips, and providing funding for food banks and community groups.
