already, please add your name to the petition to encourage Lloyds Banking Group
to continue its commitment to fund work in Scotland’s poorest communities
through the Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland. The petition aims to
gather over 3000 signatures and so far the tally stands at about 2,300.
It’s a fairly complicated story, but in a nutshell, the Bank want to cut by
half their commitment to channelling funds to local projects because, they
argue, the cake is bigger as a result of their takeover of Halifax Bank of
Scotland. But a covenant established about 25 years ago allowed for a
share of 1% of the profits to be used for charitable work, not 0.5%.
Because the Foundation has refused to accept this deal, the Bank has served
notice that it will stop the arrangement altogether in nine years’ time. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
