Children’s charity Barnardo’s has been selected as Lloyds TSB charity of the year for 2007. The organisations hope to raise over £1 million to fund vocational and educational training schemes for thousands of disadvantaged young people across the UK.
Sally Jones-Evans, Lloyds TSB executive sponsor of the Charity of the Year Programme, said that record numbers among its 68,000 staff had taken part in the vote, and Martin Narey, Barnardo’s Chief Executive, thanked the staff for their support.
Barnardo’s faced competition from over a hundred charities in the vote. The partnership is likely to be the charity’s largest single corporate relationship of 2007.
