Our Winter Receptions are well established in the charity sector’s calendar of events and provides an opportunity to celebrate and champion the vital work of the sector, particularly with our islands’ politicians and civil servants, as well as the many dedicated people working and volunteering in the sector. - [Annual Review 2025](https://www.lloydsbankfoundationci.org.uk/annual-review-2025/): Welcome to our Annual Review. 2025 not only marked a record year of funding but also our 40th anniversary. Since 1985, we have distributed £26 million to charities in the Channel Islands tackling social exclusion and disadvantage. To celebrate, we introduced two new grant programmes, alongside our core grant programme. The Channel Islands’ 40th Anniversary grant programme offered unrestricted funding to charities that have been experiencing a significant increase in demand for their services due to the cost-of-living crisis. We also launched a financial resilience fund in partnership with Lloyds Banking Group and our sister foundations for England and Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, offering charities supporting those struggling with the pressures of financial insecurity with unrestricted funding. - [Making an application](https://www.lloydsbankfoundationci.org.uk/grants/making-an-application/): All our funding is unrestricted. It can be used for any purpose within your charitable objects. - [Training and events](https://www.lloydsbankfoundationci.org.uk/annual-review-2024/training-events/): The programme pilot started in September 2023 and concluded in June 2024. The purpose of the programme was to build confidence, develop knowledge and share good practice of engaging with lived experience. The six sessions run in 2024 covered: co-production; peer support; lived experience in governance; volunteering; employment; support, recognition and reward; evaluation; and participatory storytelling. With 20 charity leaders from across the Channel Islands taking part, it also created a support network of peers focused on the topic of lived experience. In December, participating charity leaders re-convened to share the progress they had made in bringing in lived experience to their organisations, as well as sharing the challenges they had faced. - [Developmental support](https://www.lloydsbankfoundationci.org.uk/annual-review-2024/developmental-support/): We are enormously grateful for our strategic partnership with Lloyds Banking Group, not only as our sole funder but more importantly the access it provides to the skills and expertise of bank colleagues to enable the Foundation to offer support beyond just funding. In 2024, 22 charities benefited from a range of developmental support from one-off, 2-hour, on-line forums; to six-month programmes of themed support; to one-to-one year-long mentoring relationships. We know the fantastic benefits these opportunities provide for both the charities and the bank colleague volunteers. - [Welcome message](https://www.lloydsbankfoundationci.org.uk/annual-review-2024/welcome-message/): Thanks to the generosity of the covenant from Lloyds Banking Group (LBG), we continue to be able to support charities delivering incredible work across our islands. We operate with complete independence from LBG but benefit from a unique, strategic partnership, where we are so fortunate for the support we receive at Group level, as well as through our bank colleagues across the Crown Dependencies. In addition to providing funding, we have supported charities through a range of developmental support programmes including mentoring, leveraging the skills and expertise of colleagues and matching them with charities for mutual benefit. This unique partnership enables the Foundation to fulfil our strategic objectives of offering core funding, developmental support and training, and helps to build the resilience and sustainability of the charity sector. - [Annual Review 2024](https://www.lloydsbankfoundationci.org.uk/annual-review-2024/): Welcome to the Annual Review for Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands.
