To ensure funding can reach those in real need, the Empower grants programme this year will solely focus on helping charities who support vulnerable groups/people. The Empower programme provides unrestricted funding which can be used towards core costs, delivery costs, project costs and/or general running costs enabling charities to use their funding in the way that helps them best. Through the programme, charities will also have the opportunity for strategic support from Lloyds Banking Group colleagues to add value for the charity and the people they help.
