Alongside this, we proudly support local sports clubs through sponsorship, which reflects the Approved Finance Group’s commitment to health and well-being.

Drawing on the values of rugby and the club’s rich history, the Foundation supports and educates thousands each year, helping people to learn, develop skills, build confidence, and re-engage with education, training, or employment.
Since 2019, our partnership has helped raise over £200,000, demonstrating our deep commitment to corporate social responsibility and our mission to make a positive difference in the communities around us.
