The three-month draw, which launched in February, attracted over 1,700 entries, surpassing the record set last year when it drew more than 1,500 new members in four months. Our total membership now stands at over 43,000.
Matt Goulding, our Chief Executive, said: “Huge congratulations to all three of our winners - it’s brilliant to hear how much the prize means to them. This draw was designed with a clear purpose: to encourage our members to recommend and refer Commsave to their friends and colleagues - and it has worked. We already know that our members rate us highly and refer people to us every day, and we wanted to reward that. Every new member who joins is choosing a different kind of finance - one that exists to serve its members rather than generate profit for shareholders. That’s something we’re incredibly proud of.”
Among this year’s winners are Meesam, 28, who took home the £2,000 second prize, and Lewis, 24, who won the £3,000 top prize - both joining us for the first time within the last year.
For Meesam, who joined in December 2025 after a colleague at work pointed him in the right direction, the win came as a complete surprise. “I felt very happy and surprised when I received the news. I haven’t ever won anything, so I’m feeling very lucky,” he said. He’s already thinking about how to spend the money - with a dream trip to Egypt firmly on the radar. “I’m not too sure yet. I might go on holiday this year - one of my dream destinations is Egypt.”
Lewis, who joined in March 2026 after being referred by a colleague following a stint at university in Bournemouth, had only just discovered the draw existed when the email landed in his inbox. “I couldn’t believe it - I didn’t know you had this prize draw going ahead until I received an email a week before it ended. It felt amazing to hear the news, and I’m quite overwhelmed with joy by it.” He’s planning to save the majority of the winnings - and treat his family to a meal. “The £3,000 will help me out with my savings. I’m also thinking of treating my family to a meal.”
The 321 campaign has played a significant role in raising our profile, with the draw attracting a mix of new joiners and existing members who referred friends, colleagues, and family. The campaign was promoted across social media, Spotify, Northamptonshire billboards, and member emails.
This summer, we will be celebrating a significant milestone - our 35th birthday. We have a packed programme of plans in store for members, including another prize draw - one that promises to be bigger than ever and firmly focused on sharing the love with the people who matter most: our members. More details will be announced in the coming months.
