Our community programmes
We’re an integral part of communities across Britain. We support them through our core products and services, but we want to do even more.
Over 250 years’ banking experience has taught us that when local people, local businesses, and their communities all prosper, so can we.
In our Helping Britain Prosper Plan we made public commitments to help communities in a number of different ways, including: colleague volunteering; support for community organisations; donations to our independent Foundations; and fundraising for our Charity Partner, Mental Health UK.
Alongside our Helping Britain Prosper Plan commitments, we also run a number of community investment programmes. We encourage colleagues to volunteer their time and expertise to support these programmes, many of which involve local charities and community organisations as well as social enterprises.
