Lloyds Banking Group has chosen Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer Scotland as its
Charity of the Year Partnership for 2013 and 2014. The charities were selected in
a staff vote.

The funds raised during the partnership will help the charity to launch 'Live Well',
its first UK-wide dementia carers programme.

Lloyds Banking Group's previous two year charity of the year partnership was with
Save the Children. Having set a target of £2 million, it raised over £3.4 million
to fund the charity's Families and Schools Together (FAST) programme in the UK. 
Successful fundraising activities in this campaign included an Everest Base Camp
trek, which raised £250,000, and a one-day takeover of 100 Save the Children charity
shops which raised £70,000.

Paul Turner, Group Community & Sustainable Business Director at Lloyds Banking Group,
said: "Our colleagues voted overwhelmingly to partner with the [Alzheimer’s Society](http://www.alzheimers.org.uk)
and Alzheimer Scotland in support of their first ever national dementia carers programme.
Lloyds Banking Group is part of the [Prime Minister’s Challenge on Dementia](http://dementiachallenge.dh.gov.uk)
and is committed to understanding the needs of customers living with dementia to
ensure they are given as much independence as possible while supporting their financial
needs."
