In your community
We help communities in different ways, including volunteering, supporting community organisations and donations to our Foundations.
Helping communities prosper
How our colleagues are helping
Our colleagues go above and beyond to give more support to Scotland’s charities and communities, sharing their skills and volunteering time as mentors and trustees.
It’s a great way for colleagues to support local charities that are important to them. Colleagues are able to claim up to £1,000 a year in matched giving for their fundraising and volunteering efforts and last year colleagues claimed over £327,000.
We’re proud of the work our colleagues do and how they give back to their local communities. The case studies below showcase how they’re using their skills and resources to support local charities and organisations, helping to improve education, enterprise and sustainability.

We’re working with Crisis to help end homelessness
Against the backdrop of the rising cost of living, things are only getting tougher for many. Everyone has a part to play in helping to prevent homelessness.
Together with Crisis, we are working towards ending homelessness through a programme of activity including fundraising and volunteering.
The Bank of Scotland Foundation
