We work in partnership with small and local charities, people and communities, changing lives and working towards a more just and compassionate society. The needs and aspirations of people drive our work. We strengthen the small and local charities that support them and the communities they live in, and advocate for a better future.

Through unrestricted funding, support to develop and influencing policy and practice we help small and local charities thrive, communities grow stronger, and people overcome complex issues and barriers so they can transform their lives.

We're more than a funder

Through unrestricted funding, support to develop and influencing policy and practice we help small and local charities thrive, communities grow stronger, and people overcome complex issues and barriers so they can transform their lives.

The Lloyds Bank Foundation is more than just a funder; it's a fantastic network where you can meet and learn from other organisations. [The funding] allowed us to quickly adapt and respond to the pandemic when we received a huge number of referrals to our services – we provided emergency food and support for people who had just left care. It also allows us to meet our objectives and keep working towards our vision, rather than bend and have to shape ourselves to the funder.

Life-changing impact

We support small, local and specialist charities across England and Wales. Find out more about how they support people to overcome complex issues and fulfill their potential.

We have had streams and streams of refugees from Afghanistan at our door saying ‘Help me! Help my family!’ I can’t turn them away. I might not have the answers but – and I think that’s probably what every charity feels from the last 12 months during the pandemic – we’re still here. We’ve turned up every day because their needs are still there, so who’s going to respond to that?
