About the Foundation

In 2022, the Mortgage Advice Bureau established the Foundation to create awareness among its staff and customers of the growing need of the communities they live in or are choosing to move to.

We have partnered with Crowdfunder to give local charities and Community Interest Companies the opportunity to achieve their fundraising goals in a sustainable way and to support our talented and enthusiastic staff and customers to get their best and brightest projects off the ground.

Projects picked by you

The opportunity to raise funds for specific neighbourhood projects is available to our customers, colleagues and partners across the MAB Network. This includes our employee community, business partners, lenders and protection providers.

This gives many people connected with MAB nationally the opportunity to come together at a local level and do wonderful things in a wide range of communities.

Creatovators

Creatovators is a Social Enterprise with a passionate belief that people on the autistic spectrum have a lot to offer. By providing help and support to them, their families, professionals, companies and organisations, we are seeing significant success stories as a result of our service-user-led, "can do" approach.

Safe and Sound

Since 2002, we have been tackling child sexual exploitation by providing high quality tailored one-to-one support to victims and young people at risk in Derby and Derbyshire. From 2019, whilst maintaining our specialism in sexual exploitation, we have expanded our services to include all forms of exploitation. Our vital work ensures that individuals receive the support they need to move forwards in their lives.
