AGM 2026
It’s your Society - so be part of it by voting in your Annual General Meeting (AGM).
So, what’s the AGM?
An AGM is a meeting that mutual building societies like ours hold each year where members can vote in advance or attend in person on the day.
If you’re one of our members, it means we’re owned by you. And we never lose sight of that fact. It’s why we’ll always put you first – by offering attractive rates or using our profits to make our products better or invest in our branches or technology.
So the AGM is our chance to bring everyone together, from our directors to our members, to share how we’re doing financially, talk about our strategy and update you on what we’re doing for you.
Why’s the AGM important?
The AGM is your chance to have your say. You can:
- Vote on key decisions (also called ‘resolutions’)
- Hold us to account for our performance in the past 12 months
- Ask questions directly to our directors
Even if you don’t attend the AGM, by voting you’re helping us make sure we put your interests first. And that’s got to be worth a few minutes of your time.
What do I vote on?
You can vote on a few important things, like:
- The re-election of our Board members – the people who run our business for you
- The re-appointment of our auditors – the people who verify our financial statements and make sure we’re compliant
- The annual results and directors’ remuneration (this includes details like directors' pay and bonuses)
You vote, we donate
Voting in your AGM helps others too.
That’s because for every vote we get, we’ll donate 30p to charity. You can choose where the donation goes – either to our charity partner Barnardo’s1 or the Leeds Building Society Foundation2.
The donation could help Barnardo’s support young people to transition from the care system into independent living. Or it could help the Leeds Building Society Foundation support people to find a safe and secure home when they need it most.
Can’t choose between the two charities? Don’t worry – you can choose to split the donation equally between them.
Last year your votes raised £20,324 to help the two charities carry on their great work. £10,880 was donated to Barnardo’s and £9,444 to the Foundation.
That’s what being part of a mutual is all about.
