4. Who We Are
We’re an independent charitable trust, funded by the profits of Lloyds Banking Group.
We feel it’s our job to provide more than just money, so:
We fund charities’ (income £25k - £1m) core costs (Invest) and their capability and capacity building (Enable)
Funding partners from other organisations to strengthen charities by providing expertise in key areas, e.g. governance, business planning and development (Enhance)
Strengthening the landscape in which they operate by campaigning and influencing on issues that affect them on their behalf

5. Funding Charities in the North
We currently support 697 small & medium-sized charities across England & Wales under our main grants programmes, with a total amount of £36,897,786 (as of Dec’17). In the North this amounts to: £8,082,702
