Enhancing Financial Wellbeing with Lewes and Eastbourne Councils

Wave Community Bank is thrilled to be in partnership with Lewes and Eastbourne Councils for our Workplace Savings Scheme, Chorus. With this scheme Wave Community Bank prioritise the financial wellness of Lewes and Eastbourne Councils staff, empowering them to achieve their financial goals and navigate their financial journey with confidence.

About Lewes and Eastbourne Borough Councils

Lewes and Eastbourne Councils are two high-performing local authorities that partnered in 2016 to work collaboratively and share resources. This partnership aims to ensure the continued delivery of exceptional services to the residents of Lewes and Eastbourne. Lewes District Council, named after the town of Lewes, serves a district that includes the largest town, Seaford, as well as Newhaven, Peacehaven, Telscombe, and numerous villages and rural areas.

Eastbourne Borough Council, the governing body for the non-metropolitan district and borough of Eastbourne in East Sussex, holds its meetings at Eastbourne Town Hall. As part of their collaboration, the councils share a chief executive and various other staff members.

Wave Community Bank Partnership

Wave Community Bank is proud to partner with Lewes and Eastbourne Councils to offer Chorus, a comprehensive Workplace Savings Scheme designed to bolster the financial wellbeing of council employees.

Lewes and Eastbourne Councils have been running a Workplace Savings Scheme with Wave Community Bank for many years. Not only are they helping to improve the financial wellbeing of their employees, by making saving through payroll simple, but also by making it possible for their staff to save money on the cost of borrowing as loans repaid through payroll benefit from cheaper interest rates.

This partnership reflects our shared commitment to supporting the local community and fostering holistic financial health.
