Who should be our next charity partner?
We’re excited to once again offer our members the opportunity to vote for our next charity partner. The winning charity will receive 60% of our 2026 annual charitable giving fund.
Barnardo's
Barnardo’s is changing childhoods, changing lives. Helping children feel safer, happier, healthier, and more hopeful.
Giving children in poverty a place they belong
1 in 3 children in the UK are growing up in poverty. That’s 4.5 million children living in houses which could be unsafe, insecure, cold, and damp. The impact of poverty doesn’t just affect childhood; it lasts a lifetime. Together we’ll make sure children, young people, and families experiencing poverty get the support they need to have a safe, suitable, and secure place where they feel like they belong.
Help for Heroes
Life-changing support for veterans and their families: healthcare, welfare, and tackling social isolation.
Creating safe, accessible homes for injured veterans
No one should feel imprisoned in their own home. Yet too many veterans struggle to bathe, cook, or get safely around the house because of disability, injury and pain. Our Occupational Therapists visit veterans and their families at home to recommend vital adaptations and mobility aids. Your vote will help transform unsafe houses into accessible homes, so those who served to keep us safe can live with dignity and independence.
Shelter
Shelter provides critical support to homeless families, so every child has a place to call home.
Emergency support for families and children facing homelessness
84,000 families are homeless, and every 12 minutes another loses their home. The impact on children’s health, wellbeing and futures is devastating. Shelter will launch new family services in local communities, providing urgent housing and financial support. Funding will also bolster its national emergency helpline so families can access advice, no matter their postcode. With your vote, 25,000 families can rebuild their lives in a safe home. No family should face homelessness alone.
