The UK mortgage industry is being invited to a new industry-wide Fantasy Premier League for the 2026/27 season, with every penny of entry money going to the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter.
The league is organised by JammJar, the AI-native operating system for mortgage advisors, and is open to anyone working across mortgages and property finance: brokers, lenders, networks, clubs, packagers, conveyancers, surveyors and suppliers. Entry is a minimum £10 donation, with entrants free to give more, and closes at 18:30 on Friday 21 August, which is the Gameweek 1 deadline.
Mortgage Advice Bureau is also supporting the competition as sponsor of the top prize, putting up two tickets to watch an England men’s home international from Club Wembley for whoever tops the table at the end of the season. JammJar is funding the cash prizes, which include an additional £200 for the winner, £200 for second place and £100 for third.
This sponsorship means that no entry money is used to fund prizes and 100% of every entry is collected on behalf of the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC).
The Charter, founded in 2021, is a not-for-profit foundation working to improve mental health and wellbeing across the mortgage and property finance industry. More than 400 firms have now signed it, covering over 30,000 people.
Karl Griffin, CEO and co-founder of JammJar, said: “This industry is competitive, opinionated and about four degrees of separation from top to bottom, which makes it almost perfectly designed for a fantasy football league. We wanted to point that energy at something useful and the MIMHC was the obvious choice. It does fantastic work in raising awareness and providing importance guidance that helps people in the mortgage industry to take better care of their mental health. So, we’ve created a league with some excellent prizes, but where every penny raised from entry fees goes straight to the charity.”
Jason Berry, Co-Founder of the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter, said: “It’s brilliant to see JammJar and Mortgage Advice Bureau come together behind an initiative that combines a bit of healthy industry competition with a cause that matters to all of us.
“One of the things we continually champion through MIMHC is the importance of connection. Fantasy football creates conversation, friendly rivalry and a reason for people right across our industry to engage with each other, while raising funds that will be reinvested into improving mental health and wellbeing support.
“We’re incredibly grateful to JammJar and MAB for their generosity in funding the prizes separately, meaning every pound donated through entry goes to MIMHC. I’d love to see hundreds of people across the mortgage industry get involved, have some fun and help us make a difference at the same time.”
Firms are being encouraged to set up their own mini-leagues within the main table so colleagues can compete internally while still appearing on the industry-wide leaderboard, which is published at fpl.jammjar.com and updated after every gameweek.
Entry is open now at fpl.jammjar.com.
