**Lloyds Bank staff have raised £110,000 for BBC Children in Need through a bake
sale event.**

Over 3,000 Lloyds Bank colleagues from across the country took part in Ready Teddy
Bake to raise the funds for BBC Children in Need, their chosen Charity of the Year
partnership. More than 5,000 cakes, cupcakes, pastries and buns were baked for the
event, which took place in over 1,300 Lloyds Bank, Bank of Scotland and Halifax 
branches and Group Head Offices across the UK from 18 – 22 April.

Ready Teddy Bake is one of a number of fundraising initiatives organised by the 
Group for BBC Children in Need. This year staff will also participate in Challenge
100, an entrepreneurial challenge to convert £100 into as much money as possible;
as well as Tour de Pudsey, an endurance challenge with teams cycling from London,
Cardiff and Edinburgh to the Group’s Call Centre in Pudsey, Yorkshire.
