Our Priorities
Every year we strengthen the extent and rigour of our consultation with our stakeholders. The issues that matter most to them provide the focus and priorities for activities.
Our community investment is focused on preventing exclusion from banking services, promoting financial understanding and supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs.

Give As You Earn
In the UK and Ireland, for every £1 that our employees donate to charity, we add two more. We supported 3,500 different causes through GAYE in 2007 and more employees than ever before are taking advantage of the scheme.
Community Cashback Awards
Each year employees from across the Group can apply for an award ranging from £100 to £1,000 which will be donated to the charity they volunteer with.
Children's Charity Awards
In 2007 we teamed up with the Daily Mail to invite their readers and our employees to nominate their favourite children's charities. Over 18,000 people took part and 90 children's charities received a £10,000 grant.
Tommy's, the premature baby charity, was the overall winner of the public vote and received a grant of £100,000.
