Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands supports and works in partnership with charitable organisations which help people, especially disadvantaged or disabled, to play a fuller role in communities throughout the Channel Islands.
In 37 years, we have given £21m to Channel Islands charities.

- Health including mental issues or a disability
- Homelessness
- People leaving institutional care to live independently
- Addiction and recovery
- Loneliness and isolation
- Employment, literacy, financial literacy and debt problems
- Human rights
