New director at Charity Bank

Howard Lake | 4 October 2005 | News

Charity Bank, the UK’s first not-for-profit bank, has appointed Graham Duncan as its new Director of Lending and Development.

Graham will play a key role in directing Charity Bank’s continued growth. The bank has recently made £25 million of loan funds available to the third sector, financed by a rise in the number of personal and business savers opening accounts.

“Over time, Charity Bank will develop new lending packages so that more charities and social enterprises feel able to turn to us for financial support and guidance,” Graham explained. “We are committed to providing alternative funding methods that will help safeguard the future of these groups and the important work they do.”

Graham worked for Barclays Bank for 12 years in a variety of management roles, before moving on to become Chief Executive of the Exchange Clearing House Organisation.
