Wesleyan Foundation

As a mutual Wesleyan are committed to doing the right thing. That's why we launched the Wesleyan Foundation in May 2017, a fund designed to provide financial support for great causes that are important to our members, customers and the communities in which we live and work.

Be part of making a difference

To make the Foundation a real success we would like you to play a part.

Every quarter we will be inviting our customers and supporters of the chosen causes to vote for which cause you'd most like to support. The more votes a cause gets, the bigger the share of support it receives.

We will be supporting local community groups and charities nationwide, ensuring we make a positive difference across four key themes: health, education, social development and innovation.

If you would like to be made aware of future Wesleyan Foundation voting cycles please indicate your interest here.
