On Tuesday 21st April 2026, a brand-new, broker-focused event that brought together 36 building societies under one roof was held at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Called the Building Societies Show and supported by headline sponsors One Mortgage System, Mortgage Brain and Knowledge Bank, over 500 brokers attended throughout the day.
As part of the show’s and the wider building society sector commitment to mental health and welfare across the industry, the show has donated the profit made from the event, £1,250 to MIMHC.
Jason Berry, Co-Founder of Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC) said: “A huge thank you to the organisers of the recent Building Societies Show for recognising the valuable work of The Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter and supporting our MIMHC Walk & Talk 2026 initiative as the show’s chosen charity/foundation.
“The generous £1,250 donation is warmly received and genuinely appreciated. With a few final commitments still to come in, we are extremely confident that our original £20,000 fundraising target will be comfortably surpassed.
"Congratulations also to Rob and the team behind the event itself. The show was exceptionally well attended, delivered excellent content throughout, and created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the day."
Rob Oliver, Distribution Director at Dudley Building Society and Chairman of the BSA Distribution Group, added: “The Building Society Show represented something genuinely different and the response from brokers was astounding with large queues forming before we’d even opened the event.”
“The event and our subsequent donation of our profit to MIMHC demonstrates mutuality perfectly and affirms its relevance to borrowers and brokers in 2026.”
The Building Society Show 2027 will be take place at Coventry Building Society Arena on Tuesday 20th April 2027.
