Helping to build stronger communities
The Mortgage Advice Bureau Foundation is a grant-giving charity supporting community-based projects that are chosen by our staff, our customers and our business partners.
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.
Our Focus
Environment and Conservation
Practical and educational projects to help communities make green choices and reduce their carbon footprints
Health and Wellbeing
Projects to help communities combat health and wellbeing issues so that everybody’s quality of life can be improved
Preventing and Relieving Poverty
Projects to support communities through financial hardship and social exclusion
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.

Well and Horses
The horse-human connection is powerful, and with a horse as our therapist, there is an opportunity to see our internal landscape through the gentle, non-judgmental eyes of a horse. There, we can experience compassion, humility, and challenge, which are necessary for supporting self-awareness, well-being and growth. When a horse and a human form a bond, an extraordinary amount of emotional support and trust develops. They are incredibly therapeutic animals to spend time with, and they can assist us in navigating challenging emotions and experiences.
Circus Starr
Circus Starr is unique! We are the only UK touring circus to bring accessible and inclusive performance to everybody no matter what obstacles they may face. Put simply we bring fun to those who need it most. We started life in 1987 as a social enterprise and became a Community Interest Company in 2010. We are currently in the process of becoming a registered charity.
The Cancer Support Centre
The hospitals look after the clinical needs and treatments of the body, but we look after the mind and the spirit – the emotional and psychological support that is really important to managing and coping, and being the best you can be whatever the situation or prognosis.
