Reaching new heights for charity
In 2025, colleagues across the Group delivered another exceptional year of fundraising, helping raise more than £126,000 for our charity partners, around 25% higher than in 2024.
One standout example was the Welsh Three Peaks Challenge, where a team from our V12 Retail Finance business tackled Yr Wyddfa, Cadair Idris and Pen y Fan in a single day — battling heavy rain, hail and steep climbs from 4:00am until their final descent at 8:30pm.
Supported by volunteer drivers, the team demonstrated remarkable commitment and raised £19,000, including matched funding from the Group. The team’s achievement reflects the spirit seen across the Group throughout the year, with a range of events being delivered, from sky diving and dragon boat racing to long standing events like the annual Golf Day.
These efforts helped strengthen relationships with our charity partners and laid the foundation for our 2026 priorities: expanding volunteering, deepening partnerships and delivering a more strategic, Group wide approach to community engagement.
