We're proud to announce that Tiny Lives Trust and 4Louis will be our chosen charities for the year ahead.

Both charities provided invaluable support to our colleagues Matt and his wife Claire following the heartbreaking loss of their daughter, Alice June.

In Alice's memory, we're planning 14 fundraising activities, marking the date of her birth, to raise vital funds and awareness for these two incredible charities.

From small acts of kindness to team fundraising events, we're hoping to raise much needed funds for each charity, helping them continue supporting babies, children and families when they need it most.

We look forward to sharing our fundraising journey and making a meaningful difference together.

Last night, colleagues from across the Banks Group joined businesses from across the region at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art to celebrate the inaugural North East 250, recognising the strength, ambition and resilience of the North East’s leading privately-owned businesses.

We’re delighted to see the Banks Group included in the ranking, and there was something particularly fitting about being placed 50th in our 50th year.

Since 1976, we’ve been proud to call the North East home. Over those five decades, our business has evolved and grown, but our commitment to the region and its communities.

It was fantastic to spend the evening alongside so many other businesses contributing to the North East economy through investment, employment and continued growth, and to celebrate what private enterprise across our region continues to achieve.

A memorable way to mark another milestone in a very special year for the Banks Group.

Congratulations to Durham Cricket on a successful 2026 season, with the men’s four-day team being crowned champions of Division Two of the Rothesay County Championship and sealing a return to Division One at the first attempt after beating Middlesex at the Banks Homes Riverside earlier this month.

Durham Women finished as runners-up in the Vitality Blast Women competition, while the men’s 50-over team just fell short in a nail-biting Metro Bank One Day Cup semi-final against Middlesex.

Well done to all involved!

🎓 Supporting the next generation of designers

A few weeks ago, we were delighted to welcome Grace, an Architecture student from the University of Strathclyde, to Banks Group for a week of work experience across a range of our teams.

During her time with us, Grace gained valuable insight into different aspects of the business, spending much of the week working alongside Stephen Moyna, Senior Technical Manager, learning more about the design and technical processes that bring new communities to life.

Stephen said:
"It was a pleasure to be part of Grace's work experience. She was really engaging throughout the week, and I hope she pursues a career in design within the housebuilding industry in the future."

Dan Matthews, Group Learning & Development Manager, added:
"Supporting young people at the start of their careers is incredibly important to us. Work experience provides a valuable opportunity to develop skills, build confidence and gain a real insight into the industry. Grace embraced every opportunity throughout the week, showing enthusiasm, professionalism and a genuine willingness to learn, both in the office and on site. We hope the experience has given her a strong foundation for the future."

At Banks Group, we're committed to investing in people and helping the next generation discover rewarding careers across our business. We wish Grace every success with the rest of her studies and look forward to seeing where her journey takes her

🌿 Celebrating 50 years in Yorkshire at a truly inspiring venue.

As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, we were delighted to host our Yorkshire reception at Horticap in Harrogate, a charity we've proudly supported for many years.

From helping fund new learning facilities and nature trail improvements to sponsoring a new electric van, we're proud to play a small part in supporting the incredible work Horticap does to empower adults with learning disabilities through horticulture.

A huge thank you to the Horticap team for their warm hospitality and to Alan Titchmarsh for his surprise video message, which made the occasion even more memorable.

Here's to continuing to invest in the communities and organisations that make Yorkshire such a special place.
