The Co-operative Bank is expanding its specialist charity and social enterprise 
operation by creating a new Scottish-based team and by doubling its North of England
operation located in Manchester. These complement the Bank’s team based in London.

Debbie Wheeler, Head of Charity & Social Enterprise Banking team said: “Our ethical
approach and the commitments we make to society as a co-operative have long been
aligned to the voluntary sector.

“We put great emphasis on close working relationships and hope that our supportive
approach will appeal to groups in the sector at a time when they are coming under
pressure through impending reductions in grant funding and individuals cutting back
on donations during tough economic times”.
