We have been standing side by side with small and local charities for 40 years. We believe we have a responsibility to help build a society where everyone, whatever their gender, ethnicity, nationality, religious belief, sexuality, disability, age, class or educational background can thrive.
You’ll be joining us at an exciting and critical time. This year marks our 40-year anniversary and over our lifetime we have supported charities that have grown into household names as well as many thousands of small but vital charities who continue to show up for their communities. We have pushed boundaries within grant making building a strong reputation, fostered relationships right across civil society, listened and responded rapidly to a changing world and crises.
Matt Hyde, the Foundation’s new Chief Executive joined us last year bringing renewed vision and drive to an organisation with a rich history of innovation. We are now building on our legacy and developing our next strategy from 2026 onwards. We will push to be more ambitious, achieve greater impact, strengthen our work on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, and deepen our partnership with small and local charities, people and communities. Our civil society partners and Lloyds Banking Group, who have funded and supported us for decades, will work alongside us to shape our next strategy. Alongside our leadership team, our board of trustees will take advantage of the many opportunities presented by partnering with the UK’s largest bank.
As we look forward to the next 40 years, you will help to steer the Foundation, providing strategic direction, supporting the senior leadership team, and championing our work. Our trustees are crucial in supporting the Foundation to achieve change and maximise our impact. Over the coming pages you’ll learn more about what the role entails. We hope it will inspire you to take up the challenge.
