This report brings together original research from our monitoring reports detailing the impact of COVID-19 on our grantees and applicants through regular contact with our Regional Managers.

These findings are based on conversations with over 300 charities and analysis of those responses to identify themes and trends as well as feedback from the development and grant-making teams.

Charities and those they support are inevitably impacted by the crisis. Many charities, particularly those that are small and local like those funded by the Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales, are stepping up to provide critical support to people facing complex social issues.
