Dedicated to charity

Charitable engagement is a key part of the Bellway ethos and we are proud of our work so far, but we aren’t going to rest on our laurels. Our commitment to helping others is only going to grow – we are dedicated to widening the range of our charitable activities and increasing our fundraising totals.

Our primary charitable commitments

We are committed to continuing our support for local and national charities, as well as the communities in which we develop.

Cancer Research UK has been Bellway's national charity partner since 2016. From January 2026, Variety will join Cancer Research UK as part of Bellway's expanded National Charity Partnership. This partnership reflects Bellway's ongoing commitment to social responsibility and supporting the communities we build.

Our colleagues also fundraise for local charities. Our policy of ‘matching’ means that, for every pound raised, Bellway donates an additional pound to the chosen charity.

Our progress so far

  • A further £224k was raised and donated to good causes in FY25.
  • Colleagues have donated 2,260 volunteering hours since 2023.
