Celebrating Forty Years of the Lloyds Bank Trust Foundation

Last month, Lisa Lenton, CEO of S.H.E. UK, had the pleasure of attending the Lloyds Bank Trust Foundation fortieth anniversary celebration in London. It was a truly inspiring day that brought together a wide range of grant holders from across the country. Being in a room filled with so many passionate organisations, all working tirelessly to support people and communities, was both energising and humbling.

Throughout the day Lisa had the opportunity to meet other charities and hear about the impact of their work. Many of the stories shared were powerful reminders of the difference that dedicated, person centred support can make. It was encouraging to see how organisations of all sizes are finding creative ways to meet growing need, often with limited resources but with endless commitment.

Attendees also heard from the CEO, Matt Hyde, of the Lloyds Bank Trust Foundation, who spoke about the impact of the third sector and importance of leading change to support our communities.  

S.H.E. UK has been supported by the Lloyds Bank Trust Foundation for the past three years. Their funding has provided vital operational development support that has strengthened the organisation and helped expand its reach. This support has enabled improvements to systems, increased capacity and ultimately ensured that more survivors receive the compassionate, specialist help they deserve.

For Lisa, attending the fortieth anniversary celebration was a powerful reminder of how much can be achieved when funders and charities work collaboratively. S.H.E. UK is proud to be part of the Lloyds community of partners and is deeply grateful for the continued belief in its work.

Here is to the next chapter and to many more years of meaningful impact.

Grateful for Every Penny: Recent Funding Successes at S.H.E. UK

At S.H.E. UK, we know that every grant, donation, and act of support helps to keep our doors open for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, sexual violence, and rape. Each contribution, large or small, plays a vital role in allowing us to continue providing life-changing services such as counselling and peer support, to enable survivors to make progress on their personal healing journey.

We’re delighted to share that we’ve recently received a number of small but significant grants that will help us continue our work in the coming months. So, thank you to the following organisations for these grants:

We are deeply grateful to each of these funders for believing in our mission to improve the lives of adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse and sexual violence. These grants allow us to provide essential support services, and maintain the core operations that make our services possible.

However, while these awards are incredibly valuable, they represent only a fraction of what’s needed to keep S.H.E. UK running. Our services remain under significant demand, and the cost of providing specialist, trauma-informed support continues to rise. Continued and sustainable funding is vital if we are to remain a lifeline for survivors across our community.

If you’d like to help us build on this momentum, you can:

  • Set up a regular donation to provide ongoing support.
  • Share our work and help raise awareness of the challenges survivors face and the support we provide.
  • Get in touch with us if you are interested in corporate sponsorship or fundraising partnerships.

To everyone who has supported us, we thank you. Together, we can continue to make recovery possible.
