Community & Charity Support
Our Affinity Accounts
Why Our Community Matters To Us.
As a mutual building society in Staffordshire, we exist for the benefit of our members, not shareholders. That means investing directly in the local people, organisations, and causes that make Staffordshire a vibrant and supportive place to live. From ethical savings options to responsible lending, our local community helps shape the way we work and the service we provide.
At The Stafford Building Society, we don’t just talk about social responsibility – we act on it. Whether it’s sponsoring local initiatives, volunteering time, or creating tailored savings products that give back, our commitment is real. We’re proud to support local charities, community groups, and local sporting groups through direct partnerships and funding.
Our Charity Partnerships for 2025
We work with a number of outstanding local charities through both direct sponsorship and our Affinity Savings Accounts, which enable savers to earn interest while generating annual donations to their chosen cause.
A Child Of Mine
Supporting bereaved families with care and compassion.
Newly partnered in 2025, A Child of Mine provides emotional and practical support to parents and families facing the unimaginable loss of a child. Based in Staffordshire, their services include peer-led support, counselling referrals, group sessions, and online guidance for families across the UK.
We’re honoured to support their mission through sponsorship and community involvement, helping raise awareness and promote access to vital bereavement resources.
Age UK Stafford & District
Promoting well-being and independence in later life
We’re excited to begin our partnership with Age UK Stafford & District this year. The charity supports people aged 50 and over across the region, offering essential services including home care, dementia support, friendship schemes, and trusted advice on welfare, housing, and health.
Their work empowers individuals to live well, stay independent, and feel connected to their communities. Through this partnership, we’re proud to help strengthen their reach and contribute to a more inclusive, age-friendly Staffordshire.
Ethical Savings That Give Back
Looking to save ethically while supporting your local area? Our Affinity Savings Accounts allow you to grow your savings while The Stafford Building Society donates a percentage of your balance to a specific charity or community cause — at no cost to you.
Whether you choose for example to support Katharine House Hospice, Support Staffordshire, or Stafford Rugby Club, every pound saved helps strengthen local community groups and selected charities. It’s ethical savings in Stafford with real impact.
