Through our partnership with Lloyds Banking Group we nurture relationships between bank staff and small charities. Six years since we piloted our first skills-based volunteering programme, we know that these relationships can make a genuine difference to charities and Lloyds Banking Group staff.
Lloyds Banking Group staff share their wide-ranging skills, experience, insights, and networks to help charities grow stronger and more effective.
In turn, staff from Lloyds Banking Group build stronger ties to the communities where they live and work, while stretching their existing skills and developing new ones.

Connecting charities with Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) - building on our work with Lloyds Banking Group, we’re now exploring ways of helping charities to engage with SMEs, while inspiring SMEs to support small and local charities. SMEs can facilitate ways for their staff to work with local charities beyond traditional fundraising and donations, developing long lasting relationships that have the potential to be mutually beneficial.
