Redwood Bank strengthens social responsibility through charity partnership

A business bank has strengthened its commitment to local communities by cementing a partnership with a leading charity supporting young people, families and individuals across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire; and more recently Oxfordshire.

Redwood Bank has become a Bronze Partner of One YMCA’s Corporate Connect Club, backing programmes that focus on housing, health and personal development – areas that align closely with the bank’s commitment to social responsibility and long-term community wellbeing.

Alex John, ESG Manager at Redwood Bank, said: “We believe in backing organisations that make a real difference where we live and work. One YMCA’s strong presence and focus on helping people regain stability and independence makes this a partnership we are proud to support.”

One YMCA delivers a wide range of services across Herts, Beds and Bucks, supporting young people, families and individuals through times of challenge and change. Its work helps residents build confidence, access support and move towards more secure and independent lives, strengthening communities across the county.

The charity has been supporting local communities for 140 years and forms part of the global YMCA movement, combining local knowledge with trusted expertise to respond to evolving social needs.

Shaun Murphy Fundraising Relationships Officer at One YMCA said: “Partnerships like this matter because they help turn compassion into action and strengthen our ability to invest directly in frontline support across the communities we serve, helping people access the right services at the right time.

“Working alongside Redwood Bank supports the practical work that happens every day within our teams, ensuring people can access consistent, reliable help when they need it. This support translates directly into real moments of change, such as a young person finding a safe place to stay, a family getting back on their feet or someone rediscovering hope after a difficult period.”

Through this partnership, Redwood Bank is investing directly in the social fabric of the region, helping ensure that essential local services remain accessible and responsive to the people who rely on them. In 2026, the sponsorship will contribute to multiple programmes, reinforcing shared values around community, stability and sustainable impact.
