As a leading local employer, we’re committed to growing our region’s talent and being a great place to work where people can realise their potential. We currently hold Gold IIP and were voted Number 2, Best Places to Work in the North East in 2019. We’re dedicated to helping our North East communities make positive changes; since 2016 the financial support through grants and donations from the Newcastle Building Society Community Fund at the Community Foundation to benefit local causes has surpassed £1.8m. We help people to own their home, to save and to plan their finances through our range of products and services. We believe in the role of the high street at the heart of our communities and are proactive in making financial information and financial advice accessible across our region. Our Financial Advice is provided through our Newcastle Financial Advisers Limited subsidiary. Through the Newcastle Building Society Community Fund at the Community Foundation, we make grants available to a range of causes our customers wish to support across the North East and Cumbria.
