Saving with Purpose: Supporting Your Community While You Save

At Hanley Economic Building Society, we believe that saving should do more than help you reach your financial goals. It can also make a positive difference to the causes and communities you care about.

That's why we're proud to offer a range of savings accounts that combine the benefits of regular saving with support for worthwhile charities and local good causes.

Save and Make a Difference

Whether you're passionate about supporting local communities, helping those receiving hospice care, or contributing to charitable work across the region, we have savings accounts designed to help you do just that.

Charity Saver

Our Local Charity Saver account allows members to save while supporting four of our charity partners: Alice Charity, Glow, Dougie Mac Hospice and YMCA.

The Society makes a donation equivalent to 0.25% of the account's average yearly balance to these charities, helping them continue their valuable work in local communities.

It's a simple way for savers to know their money is helping create a lasting impact while remaining easily accessible when needed.

Volunteering has taken place with our partner charities, Dougie Mac, Glow, Alice Charity and YMCA North Staffordshire, alongside a range of local organisations and community groups. From supporting fundraising events to providing practical help for those facing challenging circumstances, colleagues have generously given their time and energy to causes close to their hearts, helping us continue Making More Possible for our communities. During the year, £33,600 was donated to our partner charities through our Charity Savings Accounts.

Potteries Prize Saver

The Potteries Prize Saver offers a different way to save, giving members the opportunity to take part in monthly prize draws while helping support community-focused initiatives.

It's a great option for those looking to build their savings while enjoying the excitement of prize opportunities, all while remaining part of a mutual organisation committed to supporting local communities.

Why Choose a Hanley Savings Account?

As a mutual building society, we're owned by our members, not shareholders. This means we're committed to supporting both our savers and the communities we serve.

When you save with The Hanley, you're choosing an organisation that values community investment, charitable partnerships and helping local people thrive. Through initiatives such as our charity-linked savings accounts, we're able to support causes that matter while helping members achieve their own savings goals.
