Sunday's match? Can't wait. Talking to Santander España on Monday? That depends... Colleagues from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, who are you backing this weekend? 👀

Introducing the Tour De Silverstone presented by our Official Sustainability Partner Santander UK 🚴♂️ Last month, we treated a group of Silverstone Racing Club members to an unforgettable experience. They were invited to ride around our iconic Grand Prix circuit on Santander e-bikes. Along the way, our expert instructors shared fascinating stories and history about different parts of the track. A huge thank you to our Official Sustainability Partner Santander UK and TIER Mobility for helping us create sustainable experiences, as part of our #ShiftToZero strategy. It was the perfect blend of eco-friendly fun and racing heritage! ⚡️🏁

What an exciting weekend! We invited 300 lucky colleagues to the British Grand Prix to watch the race. Check out some of the pictures and comment yours below if you were there 👇

This week we shine a light on Men’s Mental Health Awareness, an initiative to raise awareness about men’s mental health and encourage men to seek help when needed. The Mental Wellbeing Network Santander UK hosted a fantastic webinar with Ian Dempsey from the men’s mental health charity ManUP? – where we learnt that, 75% of suicides in the UK are men (highest between ages of 45-49), out of that 75%, 91% had asked for help. This can often be driven by work-related stress, financial pressures and societal expectations. This demonstrates that there is an immediate need to provide support specifically around men’s mental health. All of us can help by setting an honest example of how we are doing or listening carefully and actively to men we are with at work or in life more generally. The latest episode of the “A little bit of positivi-tea” podcast, focussed on a colleague’s journey and how he overcame mental health challenges. The Team have also been sharing stories on our internal MIO platform to raise awareness. But there is so much more that we can do, and all it takes is to simply ask “How are you” “Are you okay” – start the conversation and show support. https://www.manup.how/ is the website And the video they showed is https://lnkd.in/eb4nzvZJ Santander

Want to listen to a real example of how a criminal socially engineers their victim? Here’s exactly how it works Great article and my enormous thanks go to the The i Paper for their work on this with Santander UK Absolutely anyone can fall prey to these criminals, so it’s more important than ever to stay on your guard and take the time to consider what information you’re sharing and why, and remember, no bank will ever ask you to move your money to another account.

We're back! We're super excited to announce that once again, we're the headline sponsor of the Milton Keynes Pride Festival 🎉   Celebrating pride and everything that it stands for is an important aspect of our core values and who we are, not just as a bank but as a community. We can't think of a better opportunity to come together with the Milton Keynes community to celebrate. See you there 🌈   #SantanderSupportsPride #ThePlaceToBeYourself

Happy Pride 2024! 🌈 Supporting and celebrating the LGBTQ+ community for us isn't just during the month of June, it's an everyday commitment. We want to continue to build a community where people can proudly celebrate their authentic selves without judgement or fear, making Santander #ThePlaceToBeYourself. We recognise that there is still progress to be made, and this is why we work closely with Embrace, our LGBTQ+ people network. Together, we'll continue to take positive steps forwards and make Santander an inclusive space for all. It's especially important to us, that all of our employees feel safe and supported at work. This summer is set to be a busy one, we’re super excited to sponsor and be involved in several Pride events. We can't wait to see you there #SantanderSupportsPride.
