The Lloyds Bank Foundation
Every year we make grants to hundreds of small and local charities, investing in their work helping people overcome complex social issues across England and Wales. We provide long-term funding for charities with a proven track record of helping people achieve positive change through deep, person centred and holistic support. We understand that sometimes the most life-changing charities may not always look perfect on paper, and we’re not afraid to take risks where we see great potential.
