Lloyds Banking Group commits to raise £22m for its charity partners

Lloyds Banking Group today set out its commitment to supporting charities, promoting employee volunteering and raising funds for its charity partners. The pledges were listed in its 2017 Helping Britain Prosper Plan, in which it declares its aim to be “more than a bank”.
Lloyds Banking Group’s plan states that it will tackle social disadvantage through:

In 2016, the Group granted £18.5m in its independent charitable Foundations to tackle disadvantage. These supported 3,700 charities during that time.
In addition, the Group’s staff completed more than 260,000 hours of volunteering and raised £6.1 million for its Charity of the Year, BBC Children in Need.
This year it aims to encourage even more staff to volunteer their skills and experience, and has set a target of £4 million over two years as part of its new charity partnership with Mental Health UK, which is focusing on combining mental health and financial well-being.
