OneFamily

There’s no denying that the population of this country has been through a difficult time over the last few years... It’s felt like a perma-crisis – the pandemic, fuel costs, the cost-of living crisis, rising interest rates, a massive increase in food costs, the climate crisis, a war in Europe…. And ordinary families are suffering the most as they bounce from one difficult situation to another, unsure what’s going to hit them next. The OneFamily Group has identified five key trends that we think will need to be addressed by the financial services industry and our new government over the coming years. Today, I'm looking at Social Inclusion and what OneFamily and Beagle Street are doing to address it and to support families.  

Jim Islam, CEO of OneFamily, highlights the crucial role of mutuals in fostering community resilience. With a strong heritage of financial integrity, OneFamily champions solidarity and collaboration, empowering individuals to save for challenging times. While OneFamily is focused on tackling local issues like financial exclusion in the UK, Jim recognizes that these challenges are global. By learning from diverse experiences, he and OneFamily aim to amplify their impact both at home and abroad through the ICMIF Foundation.

What a fantastic experience speaking at my first OneFamily Town Hall in Brighton today. It was great to connect with a few hundred of you as we discussed our shared purpose and vision as a mutuality. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and it's exciting to see the progress we’re making against our objectives. I’m particularly excited about the growth opportunities ahead. A big thank you to everyone for engaging with my audience participation—it was great to see so many hands up and feel the energy in the room! I’m looking forward to seeing more of you at the next town halls as we continue this conversation across the UK. #Leadership #Mutuality #Growth #Teamwork

There’s no denying that the population of this country has been through a difficult time over the last few years. It’s felt like a perma-crisis – the pandemic, fuel costs, the cost-of living crisis, rising interest rates, a massive increase in food costs, the climate crisis, a war in Europe…. And ordinary families are suffering the most as they bounce from one difficult situation to another, unsure what’s going to hit them next.   As a financial services company we need to understand our customers, to know what their world looks like and how we can provide support. So, we listen to what they tell us and then we respond by building products and services that not only meet their needs, but enable them to thrive.   We also look more widely at trends that we’re seeing; what are the external changes that are happening that impact or have the potential to impact our customers? And what can we do to support them through an ever-shifting landscape?   So, we’ve identified five key trends that we think will need to be addressed by the financial services industry and our new government over the coming years.    There’s much that organisations within the financial services sector are already doing to help our customers and society at large as these five trends make an impact on our country and the wellbeing of its people. But this is just the starting point.    To support our customers as we move further into the twenty-first century, we need an ongoing diversity of thought, a focus on innovation and a mindset that prioritises financial inclusion and social mobility.    And for that we’ll need joined up thinking from government and a cause-led, customer-first approach from the financial services sector.   Maybe the customer-owned, socially-aware mutual sector is about to have its turn in the spotlight…….   I’m presenting each of these trends as a series of short articles over the course of five weeks. Today I’m looking at the working revolution and what OneFamily and Beagle Street doing to address it to support families.
