At Gatehouse Bank, we are committed to giving back. We do this through corporate giving, volunteering and staff fundraising.

Our community approach is local and responsive

We are proud to be part of a responsible banking community responding to the needs of society during Covid-19. We supported our local NHS trusts with donations during the crisis and time off for colleagues to donate blood.

Charity of the Year

Our 2020 Charity of the Year is Macmillan Cancer Support. Our committed colleagues run marathons, host bake sales, participate in quizzes — and more — to raise vital funds to support Macmillan’s work providing specialist health care and advice for those suffering from cancer.

After the success of our first virtual quiz, Gatehouse colleagues got together in Autumn again for Macmillan Cancer support. It was a hugely popular and we had a record of 16 teams participate!

We wanted to make sure our 2020 Charity Partner Macmillan received vital funding during lockdown so hosted a virtual fundraising quiz with staff from all our offices.

Every year, 164,782 people in the UK die from Cancer. To show their support, our Marketing and Comms team challenged themselves to fundraise and walk 18,309 steps each – completing a combined total 178,082 steps in a day.
