LGBT+
If we are to become the best bank for customers then we must continue to ensure that this vision is inclusive of the LGBT+ community.
At Lloyds Banking Group, we're #AlwaysProud because for us, Pride isn’t a month in the calendar, it’s an all-year celebration of sexualities and identities.
We continue to push the boundaries in our marketing and advertising, making it much more inclusive and representative of our customers.
We are committed to providing a safe and supportive working environment for all colleagues and the way in which they wish to express their gender identity.

Our LGBT+ colleague network, Rainbow, plays a pivotal role in our approach, and with over 5,000 members and supporters, is one of the largest networks of its kind in the UK. Rainbow is committed to connecting, developing and supporting our LGBT+ colleagues across the Group.
Over the past 10 years, Rainbow has supported five LGBT+ charities with volunteering and fundraising – Mermaids, MindOut, Albert Kennedy Trust, Opening Doors London and Waverley Care.
LGBT+ and Ally Role Models
Our 2022 LGBT+ and Ally Role Model list shines a light on our colleagues who've been nominated for their outstanding impact towards LGBT+ diversity and inclusion.
Support for transgender colleagues
We are committed to providing a safe and supportive working environment for all colleagues and the way in which they wish to express their gender identity.
We have specially trained advisors in our HR function who have received specific training and are experts in the field of transgender and transitioning at work. In 2016, we were the first UK-owned company to extend our Private Medical Benefit to include gender dysphoria.
Support for mental health
To support LGBT+ colleagues with their mental health, Rainbow has created a new Mental Health Advocate programme based on the Group's already successful Mental Health Advocate programme.
This includes additional training and support tailored to the LGBT+ community.
