Lloyds Banking Group
Our strong partnership with Lloyds Banking Group, whose profits support our work, enables us to build long-term, impactful relationships, ensuring everyone in England and Wales is in a good place. We share an ambition to help people, communities, and Britain prosper and believe that we can achieve greater impact by working closely together.
For over forty years, our four independent charitable Foundations and Lloyds Banking Group colleagues have been working together to support the small charities and organisations which help those most in need in our communities. We have contributed £800 million and, in addition, I have been humbled by the enthusiasm and dedication of our people – sharing their skills to help thousands of grass-root organisations maximise their impact and reach. I’m very proud of our commitment to the Foundations and our partnership will continue to be fundamental to our purpose of Helping Britain Prosper, helping us to tackle social disadvantage and build a more inclusive society.

Sharing Skills to Support Charities
Through our partnership with Lloyds Banking Group, we provide the opportunity for Bank staff to volunteer and share their skills with the charities we fund through mentoring and volunteering. This helps charities to become more effective and at the same time, Lloyds Banking Group staff benefit from stretching their skills in new settings, developing new capabilities, and building stronger ties to the communities where they live and work.

Skills Based Volunteering: It's a win
In 2024, we launched a report sharing our learning from a decade of delivering skilled volunteering programmes so that other organisations can take up skills-based volunteering, be it volunteers, employers or charities.
Skills based volunteering is a form of volunteering where people use professional skills such as HR, marketing, or finance in a voluntary basis to help a nonprofit organisation. This can take the shape of one-off tasks or projects or ongoing, longer-term support. Find out how skills based volunteering is an added win for your career. Read the report here.
