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.

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 efforts so far

  • As a result of the fundraising efforts from employees, suppliers and subcontractors, this year we saw the highest annual fundraising total since the start of the partnership in 2016, with a fundraising total as at 31 July 2024 of £612,722 (2023 – £580,048) raised and donated to CRUK. £147,927 has been raised by employees (2023 – £140,295) with another £168,936 from subcontractors and suppliers (2023 – £157,084), Bellway’s award winning double matching of employee fundraising added a further £295,857 (2023 – £282,669). This brings our eight-year total to £3.76 million.
  • The partnership has raised £3.76 million for the charity over the last eight years, and we are on track to achieving our £4 million target by the end of 2024.
  • When combined with Bellway’s other activities, in 2023 we have raised and donated a total of £799,978 to charities and good causes (2022 - £899,467), helping others and making a difference, locally and nationally.
