We are not about making big profits for shareholders or large family groups, but creating value for our members and that could include you. Our top priority is to provide the best possible services for our clients and to invest in the communities that we serve. Each year we award a percentage of our profits to community projects, and in 2007 this amounted to £10.4 million.
