Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We are committed to ending homelessness. Every day we see the devastating impact homelessness has on people’s lives. Every year we work side by side with thousands of people, to help them rebuild their lives and leave homelessness behind for good. Currently 242,000 individuals and families across the UK are homeless.

Lloyds Banking Group has been supporting Crisis since April 2023 through employee fundraising and volunteering, and the efforts seen have been incredible. Colleagues raised a truly outstanding £1.2 million within the first eight months of the partnership, along with dedicating thousands of hours to various volunteering activities.

The partnership between Lloyds Banking Group and Crisis will introduce programmes and progress that will change the status of homelessness in the UK. In 2023, the partnership saw the opening of Good Place Lettings, a not-for-profit lettings agency aimed at supporting landlords and prospective tenants by removing many barriers that often stop those with lived experiences of homelessness being able to access stable, secure housing. Colleague fundraising will also propel and expand Crisis’ Changing Lives Grant Programme. This programme supports those with lived experiences of homelessness into education or employment through grants, enabling people to take their first steps out of homelessness. Lastly, this partnership will “Activate the Nation” through education. Lloyds Banking Group colleagues and customers will be educated on how to best continue their support of this cause, and to see an end to homelessness.

Your fundraising and participation in City Walks 2024 will directly support the three pillars of work mentioned above.
