In addition to the partnerships highlighted in the business sections, we have relationships with the following third sector organisations:
Our Group Protection business has worked with the British Heart Foundation (BHF) for several years, concentrating on the promotion of workplace health. BHF are one of the leading researchers on heart health, and our partnership helps us understand longevity and health issues that could affect future customers.
Our Group Protection business is working with Macmillan to help us to understand how people affected by cancer are affected financially. Together we are investigating how we can make improvements to policies to improve customer experience at this difficult time.
MEND is childhood obesity charity which helps young people and their families become fitter, healthier and happier by offering free healthy living programmes in the local community. They are helping our Risk business to understand health and longevity issues caused by childhood obesity.
We believe that basic numeracy is key to understanding and managing finances. This is why we have been supporting a programme to help Maths teachers encourage their students to take more of an interest in the subject.
As a financial services organisation, we believe we should help prevent financial crime. We have supported Crimestoppers in the development of various community programmes including educating young people about crime.
Our Savings business is working with the East and West Sussex Credit Unions to help them market their products in their local communities. In return they are helping us to understand how we can adapt our products to encourage people to save.
Our partnership with Help the Aged has introduced HandyVans across the UK. These vans highlight the importance of home security amongst vulnerable communities, installing appropriate devices to improve security whilst providing insight to our General Insurance business.
