Building a Brighter Future for Scotland

Bank of Scotland Foundation is an independent charity, solely funded by Lloyds Banking Group as part of its commitment to Helping Britain Prosper.

We receive an annual donation from the Group which we then distribute to charities across Scotland through our grant programmes and Matched Giving programme.

Since 2010, through our Grant Programmes and Matched Giving Programme for Lloyds Banking Group colleagues in Scotland, we have provided over £50 million to more than 2,900 charities, supporting a wide ecosystem of charities delivering vital local services, advice and personal support.  Together, these charities provide help at significant scale - supporting people at different points in their lives, often through more than one service.  Over time, this collective and sustained support has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands, demonstrating both the breadth and depth of impact made possible through our funding.

As our 2019-2023 strategy concluded, we took the opportunity to reflect on the challenges faced by charities and how we could further assist them in supporting their communities.

We're thrilled to now embark on a new five year journey, as we strive to make an even greater difference and build a brighter future for Scotland.
