Lorna Butterick, Business Manager, Project Challenge, Calderdale said: “The funding
from Lloyds TSB Foundation means we can continue to run our service and support 
the many young NEET [not in employment, education or training] people who come to
us from within the community needing help to build their self-esteem and confidence
to achieve qualifications and improve their live chances and choices.”

Linda Kelly, Chief Executive of Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales, said:“
We are delighted to be able to respond with a significantly increased investment
at a time of major cuts and changes. We have seen an increase of 25% in eligible
applications last year and with our new sustained level of funding from Lloyds Banking
Group, we are delighted to be able to respond in such a positive manner and continue
to support the needs of those most vulnerable in our society.’”
