CHAIR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR
As we look back to the start of 2020, how simple life seemed then. How little we knew of what lay in store. Already the first reports were reaching us of an unusual illness in Wuhan, China. We had no idea of the enormous challenges it would pose to every aspect of our lives.
For the charities in the Channel Islands which do so much outstanding work to strengthen our communities, the Covid 19 pandemic rapidly changed everything. The lockdown measures introduced in the Bailiwick of Guernsey and Jersey meant they could not support their clients and service users in the way they had. We at Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands (“The Foundation”) had to discard the plans we had for development in 2020 and scramble to support charities to function in a totally new environment.
Our task was to reach out to those we work with; to listen and to respond rapidly to help charities work in new ways.
Our board met each week for several months throughout the height of the emergency. The emergency funding requests we received illustrate the issues facing charities and in this publication you will see what we did to help them to be nimble and responsive to the needs of the community.
Many people in our islands found themselves without the simple necessities of food and shelter. They found themselves unable to communicate with their friends and families. People with medical conditions such as cancer found themselves uncertain about whether they could continue their treatments. People – including children – living in abusive environments were unable to escape to the safe havens of school or workplace. Children not lucky enough to have the necessary support at home were simply not being educated. Some charities were unable to access essential PPE. Many had to enable their staff to work remotely with clients, because meeting face to face was no longer an option.
The longer-term impact of all this will be with us for years to come. Our task is to continue to listen and to plan how we can respond to help our communities. 2021 will need to focus on listening, responding, rebuilding.
To do that we will reach out to the charities of the Channel Islands, to other funding organisations in both islands, and to the governments of both islands. We intend to work closely with all of them.
Our core purpose is still to respond to requests for grant funding from charities in the Channel Islands. In 2020 we made £722,778 of core grants to charities in Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney. In addition, we made £243,860 of emergency grants to local charities addition – a total of £966,638 of grant funding (2019 £909,646). More detail can be found in note 13.
Of course, this was only possible because of our income from Lloyds Banking Group (“LBG”). The last year has, we know, challenged the bank to an extent it had never been challenged before. The Board of the Foundation is enormously grateful for the support it has received from LBG colleagues during the past 12 months and – above all – for the pledge that despite everything, our 2020 income will be matched in 2021. This is a tremendous gesture of faith from LBG in what its foundations do, and a demonstration that it supports our work both in good times and in bad.

CHAIR’S REVIEW OF THE YEAR (cont.)
Our reserves and investments allow us to supplement our income from LBG and I am grateful to fellow trustees who diligently oversee the positioning and performance of these funds, especially in the financial rollercoaster that was 2020.
My heartfelt thanks go to Executive Director Jo Le Poidevin who has worked unstintingly to underpin our work during this very busy year. It is beyond doubt that the Foundation has benefitted enormously from her understanding and her energy.
Never has the time and expertise of our Board of Trustees been needed as much as it was in 2020. As I look back, I believe that we did our collective best to make the most of the resources we had to help our communities through the difficulties of that year.
Kathryn Le Quesne Chair of Trustees 25 March 2021

TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND STRATEGIC REVIEW
(Incorporating the Directors’ Report)
The Trustees, who are also Directors of the company, present their annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with Charities SORP FRS 102 (second edition – October 2019), the Companies Act 2006, and the Charities Act 2011. The Trustees have taken into consideration the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document and constitution
The Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands was incorporated under and is regulated by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 13 December 1985 (as altered by Special Resolution on 17 March 1999, 2 December 2013 and 25 March 2014) as a company registered in the United Kingdom and limited by guarantee.
Structure of the Foundation
Of the nine Trustees, there is representation from the two main Islands, plus the Chair. The names and roles of Trustees are provided on page 4 of this report.
The legal and accounting records are maintained in London. All administrative details are included on page 3.
Recruitment, appointment, induction and training of Trustees
The list of Trustees covers the year to 31 December 2020 and up to the date of signing the financial statements. Their appointments are ratified by Lloyds Banking Group plc’s Nomination and Governance Committee on the recommendation of the Foundation's Board of Trustees.
Applications for trusteeship are sought both through Island-wide networks and open competition. The Nomination Committee, which operates under specific terms of reference delegated from the Board of Trustees, comprises at least three serving Trustees who consider nominations and interview candidates or agree a Selection Panel of three from the Board of Trustees to undertake recruitment.
Trustees normally serve for a three-year period and may be re-appointed for one further threeyear term. Trustees’ skills and outside interests are regularly reviewed, and prior to seeking a new Trustee the Nomination Committee reviews the composition of the Board to identify any specific skills required.
Newly appointed Trustees are provided with a comprehensive pack of induction materials, - and are encouraged to visit beneficiary charities together with fellow Trustees or the Executive Director.
The Board
The full Board of Trustees makes strategy and policy decisions and sets the annual budget. The Chair has authority to approve grants up to £5,000 per grant between Board meetings but apart from those, all grant decisions are made by the full Board of Trustees.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND STRATEGIC REVIEW (cont.)
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION-MAKING
The Board (continued)
The Board meets four times a year (or more frequently if required), normally in January, March (incorporating the AGM), July and November. Meeting venues normally alternate between Guernsey and Jersey. Due to the pandemic travel restrictions the Board met virtually from March 2020 onwards.
The Executive Director is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Foundation and has authority to incur administrative expenditure within the budget set by the Trustees. Initial assessment of applications, visits to applicants and monitoring visits of grant holders are undertaken by the Executive Director who is based in Guernsey and would normally frequently travels between the Islands. Due to the pandemic visits were conducted virtually in order to comply with the government restrictions and regulations.
Board Committees
There are three permanent Committees of the Board, which report fully on their meetings and other activities - the Nomination Committee, Audit and Investment Committee and Remuneration Committee each of which comprise a minimum of three Trustees. The Terms of Reference of these Committees are regularly reviewed by the Board.
The role of the Audit and Investment Committee is to satisfy itself that any financial statements published by the Foundation follow approved accounting principles and give a true and fair view of the Foundation’s financial position. This includes examination and review of the Foundation’s annual financial statements with the auditors prior to consideration by the full Board, and examination and review of reports prepared by the Lloyds Banking Group plc internal audit function. The Committee’s remit also includes overseeing the Foundation’s risk management procedures and monitoring investments held by the Foundation.
The Committee meets annually, to consider the report of the auditors and the annual report and financial statements prior to their presentation to the full Board. All members of the Committee normally attend meetings. The Committee satisfies itself as to the auditors’ independence.
The role of the Remuneration Committee is to make recommendations to the Trustees concerning the broad policy framework for remuneration and the year-end review of Foundation staff. It determines the remuneration package and terms and conditions of the Executive Director (at present the sole paid employee) on appointment and recommends to Trustees her salary for the forthcoming year. Pay setting is calculated by research on market indicators.
The role of the Nomination Committee is to make recommendations to the Board of Trustees and Lloyds Banking Group plc Nomination and Governance Committee on the appointment of new Trustees, giving due consideration to the balance of skills, interests and experience on the Board of Trustees.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND STRATEGIC REVIEW (cont.)
Board Committees (continued)
The process for the appointment of new Trustees is described, above, in the section headed “Recruitment, appointment, induction and training of Trustees”.
Risk management
The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include:
-
An annual budget approved by the Trustees
-
Regular consideration by the Trustees of financial results, variance from budgets
-
Delegation of authority and segregation of duties
-
Identification and management of risks
-
Approval of grants by the Trustees
In respect of operational practices, a review of risks facing the Foundation is undertaken by the Board. Risks identified are prioritised in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence, and the Trustees confirm that systems or procedures are in place to mitigate the significant risks identified. The review incorporates examination of the adequacy of the Foundation’s internal controls. It is recognised that risk management is an ongoing activity involving all Trustees and staff and is established as an agenda item for the full Board and Audit and Investment Committee.
The Trustees recognise that there is a risk associated with virtually all the income arising from a single source, Lloyds Banking Group plc. The current funding agreement sets a floor for current and future years funding at £460,500. The Board of Trustees has agreed in principle to utilise reserves to maintain grant giving at a level in line with recent years. This will cause a gradual reduction in reserves over the next few years.
Related parties
The Foundation is related to Lloyds Banking Group plc and connected to the Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wales, Halifax Foundation for Northern Ireland, the Corra Foundation (Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland) and the Bank of Scotland Foundation which was established in 2010. See Note 12 for details of transactions with these connected charities and related parties.
Each Foundation is directed by its own independent Board of Trustees.

The Foundation’s performance in respect of the primary objective was as follows;
-
The grant expenditure approved in the year, excluding Matched Giving and cancelled grants, amounted to £966,638 (2019: £909,646).
-

-
Promotion of Lloyds Bank Academy learning and support for charities.
Public benefit
In reviewing our aims, objectives and planning for future activities, the Trustees have taken into account the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. The Trustees always ensure that the activities undertaken are in line with the charitable objectives and aims of the Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income
In December 2013 the Foundation entered into a new nine-year rolling agreement, the covenant, with LBG. From 2014, the Foundation receives 0.01535% of the Group’s profits, averaged over three years, subject to a minimum amount of 3.07% of £15 million (£460,500) and a maximum amount of 3.07% of £50 million (£1,535,000). This secures the Foundation’s funding over the long term.
The Foundation’s donation income for 2020 at £868,293 was similar to the prior year (2019: £874,363), the key difference being a one-off payment of £15,350 in restricted funding from LBG in 2019 for mental health projects on the Islands.
The other source of income was interest and dividends of £22,491 (2019: £30,647). In addition to the dividend income the Foundation’s investments generated unrealised gains of £155,979. This compares to the unrealised gains of £180,078 in 2019.
Expenditure
Charitable expenditure for the year by the Foundation was £1,074,728 (2019: £982,569). This resulted in a deficit of £27,965 compared to the surplus for 2019 of £102,519.
The 2021 funding from LBG is £784,390 plus £75,000 to cover a proportion of operating costs. This is a higher amount than would be payable under the covenant – LBG have indicated that they would pay the same amount as 2020 even if their profits were lower, which has been received.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND STRATEGIC REVIEW (cont.)
Grants
The Foundation’s policy is to support registered charities or those accorded charitable status by States of Guernsey Revenue Services and Jersey’s Charity Commission to help disabled or disadvantaged people to play a fuller role in communities throughout the Islands.
Guidelines are published and are also available on the Foundation’s website www.lloydsbankfoundationci.org.uk which set out the range of activities eligible for consideration. Currently the priorities identified by the Trustees as those they wish to focus on within their overall objectives cover;
-
People with health issues or a disability - supporting charities which create opportunities for people with health issues or a disability to live and work independently.
-
People experiencing homelessness - helping charities which provide accommodation and support for people who are homeless and support their return into society.
-
People with dependency on alcohol or drugs - supporting charities providing education and rehabilitation for people who misuse alcohol and drugs.
-
Carers - helping charities providing support, training, and respite care.
-
Challenging disadvantage and discrimination - helping charities who challenge discrimination and stigma and promote equality of opportunity for all.
-
People with literacy problems - supporting learning programmes for people disadvantaged by poor education and literacy.
-
People affected by domestic violence - supporting charities who help prevent and protect people from abusive relationships.
-
People leaving institutional care to live independently – helping charities providing support and accommodation for people who are getting back into society, maybe after leaving care or prison.
We support charities which demonstrate good governance and sustainable activities measured against identifiable outcomes. Grants are agreed by the Trustees for a one, two or three-year period, and monitored on an annual basis.
The Foundation has adopted a policy for accounting purposes which recognises the total grant in the year in which it is approved (see note 1 for relevant accounting policy). This increases the transparency in terms of grant commitment and means that existing grants are not impacted by future income (because provision has been made up-front for payments due in years two and three). In the medium term, if the financial position of the Foundation deteriorated significantly over a number of years then changes in levels of grant-making may be considered.
Reserves
As at 31 December 2020 the Foundation’s unrestricted reserves were £1,814,862 (2019: £1,842,827). The Trustees require the Foundation to retain sufficient reserves to ensure:
-
a) cushion against a potential future reduced level of income, so that the Foundation can continue to operate; and
-
b) the settlement of 12 months operating costs (for cash flow purposes).
Page 12 of 38
LLOYDS BANK FOUNDATION FOR THE CHANNEL ISLANDS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND STRATEGIC REVIEW (cont.)
The current balance of reserves is over 12 times greater than the reserves policy requirement of 12 months operating costs which, based on the budget for 2021 is £146,759 (2020 £145,000).
Investments
In order to manage investment risk, the Board of Trustees appointed Cazenove Capital as investment manager.
The investment criteria reflect the ethical policies and risk appetite of the Foundation. The Trustees aim to keep at least 70% of the assets in investments that can be realised within three months.
The Foundation’s principal funds are invested in a diverse portfolio with a low to medium risk appetite which is focussed on capital growth, comprising of multi class assets and currencies.
The asset allocation at 31 December and performance for the year was as follows;
| Assets | Allocation | Return | Assets | Allocation | Return | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2020 | 2020 | 2020 | 2019 | 2019 | 2019 | |
| £’000 | % | % | £’000 | % | % | |
| Equities | 1,067 | 51.7 | 9.5 | 955 | 47.0 | 22.8 |
| Bonds | 547 | 26.5 | 1.7 | 449 | 22.1 | 6.4 |
| Alternative investments | 391 | 19.0 | 0.8 | 442 | 21.8 | 11.7 |
| Cash | 58 | 2.8 | (0.1) | 186 | 9.1 | 0.1 |
| Total | 2,063 | 100.0 | 5.0 | 2,032 | 100.0 | 13.8 |
The portfolio does not contain any direct investment in equity and bonds. All investments are made through collective investment funds (such as OIECs, SCIAVs and UCITSs). These investments totalling £1.6 million (2019: £1.4m) are regarded as Level 2 investments in accordance with Section 34 of FRS 102. The funds individually invest in listed securities and the valuations are provided by the fund manager based on the fair value of each security.
The alternative investments are regarded as Level 2 investments except for the structured products which are regarded as Level 1, are made up as follows;
| Alternative investments | 2020 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|
| Hedge Funds | 56,025 | 113,609 |
| Commodities | 150,301 | 130,964 |
| Diversified Asset Fund | 123,384 | 129,744 |
| Structured Products | 61,671 | 68,069 |
| Total | £391,381 | £442,386 |
The Hedge Fund and Commodities are also invested in a UCITS Fund with individual valuations provided by the fund manager based on fair value of individual investments. The Diversified Fund is a Schroders Fund which invests in a wide range of asset classes with the investments in listed investments valued by the fund manager at fair value. The structured

LLOYDS BANK FOUNDATION FOR THE CHANNEL ISLANDS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND STRATEGIC REVIEW (cont.)
products are five structured notes with an investment bank counterparty which are listed on a recognised exchange and included at fair value.
Investments (Continued)
Performance benchmarks are established by the Audit and Investment Committee and agreed with the investment manager. Performance by the investment managers against the agreed benchmarks are reviewed half yearly by the Audit and Investment Committee. The manager presents to the Trustees once a year.
Financial risk management
The risk associated with the Foundation’s investments are monitored by the Audit and Investment Committee and managed on a day-to-day basis by its investment managers, Cazenove Capital.
(i) Market risk
Exposure - The portfolio is well diversified with holdings in a wide range of asset classes. The Foundations’ investments are made up from holdings in over 30 managed funds selected by Cazenove Capital.
The Foundation derives the majority of its income from the covenanted payment from Lloyds Banking Group and is able to take a long-term view of its investments.
Sensitivity - The largest market risk is a fall in the value of equity markets. Based on the position at 31 December 2020, in the event that there was a general 10% fall in equity markets there would be a reduction in net income and the value of investments of £106,700 (2019: £95,500).
Currency – 85% of the Foundation’s investments are held in GBP with 13% in US $ and 2% in JPY and Euro. A 10% fall in US $ would result in a reduction in net income and the value of investments £27,350 (2019: £21,900).
(ii) Credit risk
At 31 December 2020 27% (2019: 22%) of the Foundation’s investments were invested in bonds. The Foundations’ bond investments are made through holdings in nine (2019: six) managed funds selected by Cazenove Capital which spreads the exposure across a large number of counterparties.
- (iii) Liquidity risk The majority of the managed funds in which the Foundation has invested have daily dealing which would allow the Foundation to realise cash if this were required.
Fundraising Activities
Section 162a of the Charities Act 2011 requires charities to make a statement regarding fundraising activities. The legislation defines fundraising as ‘soliciting or otherwise procuring money or other property for charitable purposes’. In relation to this statement, the Foundation does not undertake widespread fundraising from the general public and does not

assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of all investments, and in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards in the United Kingdom, including the Charities SORP FRS 102 (second edition – October 2019), and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011, using consistently applied accounting policies.
Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Fund accounting
Restricted and unrestricted funds are separately disclosed as set out in note 10. The different funds held are defined below:
Unrestricted funds
The Foundation's unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Restricted funds
These funds are subject to specific restrictions imposed by the donor.
Investments
Listed investments are included in the Balance Sheet at fair value which is their closing bid price on the current or previous trading day. Details of the nature of the investment assets, valuation methods and risk management are included in the trustees report.
Realised gains and losses on disposals in the year and unrealised gains and losses on investments at the Balance Sheet date are included in the Statement of Financial Activities for the relevant underlying fund. All investment income is treated as unrestricted.
Current asset investments including short term cash deposits have a maturity date or expected disposal date of less than one year and are not held for long term investment purposes.
Valuation of assets
Tangible fixed assets are included at historic cost less accumulated depreciation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Capitalisation and Depreciation
The minimum value for the capitalisation of tangible fixed assets is £1,000.
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. The principal rates used, which are consistent with last year, are:
Computer equipment Furniture and other office equipment
33% per annum 10% per annum
All assets are fully depreciated but remain in use.
Income
Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Foundation is entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the income have been met, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.
The covenanted income is recognised in the year to which the Foundation is entitled to the income.
Interest income is recognised on a receivable basis which reflects the effective interest method.
Dividend income represents the Foundation’s share of dividends received from holdings in investment funds. The income recognised represents the amount credited to the investment fund.
Donated services
Donated services and facilities are valued and included as income and expenditure at the price the Foundation estimates it would pay in the open market for an equivalent service or facility.
Recognition of expenditure
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis in the period in which it is incurred.
Grant expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay. Grants, both single and multi-year, are recognised in the financial statements as liabilities after they have been approved by the Trustees, the recipients have been notified and there are no further terms and conditions to be fulfilled which are within the control of the Foundation. For the majority of multi-year grants the full amount is recognised on award.
There are occasions when it becomes necessary to withdraw a grant which has been approved in a prior year; where this happens, the funds revert to the original unrestricted or restricted reserve.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Pension costs
The Foundation does not participate in any pension schemes.
Allocation of expenditure
Charitable activities include the direct costs of the grant awards and the indirect support costs of delivering the grant programmes. Support costs (including governance costs) are allocated across charitable activities on the basis of estimated time spent by staff.
Taxation
The Foundation is a registered charity, and as such is entitled to certain tax exemptions on income and profits from investments, and surpluses on any trading activities carried on in furtherance of the Foundations primary objects, if these profits are applied solely for charitable purposes.
2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
a) Multi-year grants
The Foundation recognises the majority of grants on award. In practice some organisations will not continue with the funded project resulting in the cancellation of the grant. Given the uncertainty of estimating the value of grants that will not be completed and the relatively small sums that are typically involved the financial statements are based on the assumption that all grants awarded will be fully utilised by the recipients.
