Community
We support a number of charities and organisations, including:
British Heart Foundation
This is our Charity of the Year. The British Heart Foundation is dedicated to fighting heart and circulatory disease. It funds research, education and life saving equipment as well as supporting heart patients. Across the Lloyds TSB Group, staff are engaged in fund raising activities over the year.
Teenage Cancer Trust
Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer, a severely medically and socially underserved group. Our support has enabled TCT to create the world’s first post-graduate certificate in the care for teenagers with cancer.
Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation
The Women's Sport and Fitness Foundation is a campaigning charity that aims to make physical activity a part of every woman's life. We are working with the WSFF to develop a strategy to increase women's participation in sport and fitness and through this improve the health and well-being of millions of women across the UK.
National Galleries of Scotland
The National Galleries of Scotland comprises five Galleries in Edinburgh and two partner galleries in the North and South of Scotland, whose collections of fine art are amongst the best in the world. We sponsor their annual Art Competition for Schools, which aims to encourage young artists and increase access to the works of art in the National Galleries of Scotland’s collection.
Arts & Business
Arts & Business acts as a crucible where businesses and arts organisations come together to create partnerships to benefit themselves and the community. In 2007 we introduced our Arts@Work programme which aims to help bring creativity into the workplace and engage our employees. The programme manager, Sylvia Dow, who is the UK’s first dedicated Arts Project Manager within a business, has organised a range of activities including artists’ residencies, lunchtime concerts and two hugely successful Arty Parties for staff.
Lloyds TSB Foundation
As part of the Lloyds TSB group, we are proud to be a part of the Lloyds TSB Foundation, one of the UK's largest grant-making trusts. Its mission is to support and work in partnership with charitable organisations which help people, especially those who are disadvantaged or disabled, to play a fuller role in communities throughout the UK. As part of the Lloyds TSB Group we donate 1% of our pre-tax profits to the Lloyds TSB Foundations.
Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland
One of the four independent Lloyds TSB Foundations, which cover England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, the Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland is a grant-making trust focusing on grassroots giving and supporting local charities. The Foundation distributes in excess of £7 million each year to recognised charities throughout Scotland.
It is particularly keen to support small community-based charities where small amounts of money can make a significant difference to the lives of local people.
