Barnardo’s announced that its charity of the year partnership with Lloyds TSB is to be extended by six months. The partnership, originally due to finish at the end of this year, has been extended by Lloyds TSB, giving both parties the opportunity to build upon the strength of the existing relationship. The Charity of the Year Partnership with Barnardo’s will now end in June 2008.  In future, all Lloyds TSB Charity of the Year partnerships will run for 18 months and Barnardo’s is the first charity to benefit from this change.

Steve O’Connor, Barnardo’s Director of Fundraising, said: ‘Lloyds TSB and their staff have been fantastic in their support of Barnardo’s.   We look forward to helping them break all previous records for fundraising and most importantly helping more disadvantaged young people to access vital education and training.’

Sally Jones – Evans, Lloyds TSB executive sponsor of their Charity of the Year Programme, said: ‘Lloyds TSB is delighted to continue to support Barnardo’s until June 2008. We are committed to helping Barnardo’s with the vital work they do for the UK’s most disadvantaged young people. This extra time period on the charity of the year relationship is a real boost for both Lloyds TSB and Barnardo’s, and it gives all Lloyds TSB staff an extra chance to show much they Believe in Children.’

Lloyds TSB has one of the most successful corporate charity programmes in the UK and this is reflected by the number of charities that compete for selection every year. Barnardo’s faced competition from over a hundred charities to secure the relationship for 2007 and a record numbers of staff participated in the voting process.  This enthusiastic staff response has continued through the support for Barnardo’s, the tireless fundraising of Lloyds TSB staff and their lead sponsorship of Barnardo’s Big Toddle, the biggest event for under 5’s in the UK.
