Bank of Scotland Foundation

Bank of Scotland Foundation receives an annual donation from Lloyds Banking Group as part of the Group’s commitment to Helping Scotland Prosper. These funds are distributed to charities across Scotland through their grants programmes and a matched giving programme for Lloyds Banking Group employees in Scotland.

Through a new five-year strategy Building a Brighter Future for Scotland – the needs and aspirations of vulnerable people will drive the Bank of Scotland Foundation’s work as they aim to fund, support and champion the small and local charities that work to improve their quality of life.

Four strategic aims will determine the programmes of work over the next five years:
