The team at the building society were asked to nominate a charity close to their heart, who they believe do great work in the community and would like to see receiving support for the coming year.
Bath Building Society members voted for a shortlist of three local charities and the winner was Julian House.
Julian House supports vulnerable and at-risk individuals across Bath and the wider area. These include adults and young people experiencing homelessness, escaping domestic abuse, adults with learning difficulties and people who need support after leaving prison.
Helen Bedser, CEO of Julian House, said: “We are thrilled to be named Bath Building Society’s Charity Partner of the Year for 2025.
“This partnership is an opportunity to work together to create lasting change and support the most vulnerable people in our community.
“Support like this is not just a lifeline for charities like Julian House but a beacon of hope for the individuals and families we serve. It ensures that we can continue offering services that provide safety, support, and opportunities to rebuild lives.
“A heartfelt thank you to Bath Building Society for your generosity and belief in our mission.
“We are particularly excited about the fundraising opportunities and the chance to involve your employees in volunteering experiences that will make a difference in our community.”
Richard Ingle, CEO of Bath Building Society, added: “This year we included our Members in the voting process, and we are delighted with the results.
“Julian House is an amazing charity that has a far-reaching presence throughout the south west and we are looking forward to supporting them through our colleague volunteering, promoting them to our Members and fundraising.”
