The Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales has appointed three new trustees
to its Board of Trustee. **Paul Farmer**, chief executive of Mind, **the Rt. Hon
Baroness Hilary Armstrong of Hill Top** and **Carolyn Fairbairn**, non-executive
director at Lloyds Banking Group.

They join the charity as it prepares to launch its [new strategy in April](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/2014/01/15/new-funding-strategy-announced-lloyds-bank-foundation-england-wales/).
This will involve investing in charities “that support people to break out of disadvantage
at critical points in their lives, and promote practical approaches to lasting change”.

“Hilary, Carolyn and Paul bring with them a wealth of experience and knowledge and
we are delighted to welcome them to the Board at a time when the Foundation is launching
its new strategy. The Foundation works with charities on the ground to support those
facing multiple disadvantage and to create better lives. I look forward to working
with our new trustees in accomplishing this.”
