RBS International is strengthening its community support in 2026, focusing on charities working in three priority areas in Guernsey.
These are supporting vulnerable children and young people, helping victims of abuse including financial abuse, and assisting people affected by poverty.
“Our communities continue to face immense pressure from rising living costs, and charities delivering essential services are feeling the strain,” said Jane Howard, CEO of RBS International.
“Last year, we saw firsthand the difference our support can make for the most vulnerable groups across our jurisdictions. We’re now strengthening our commitment for 2026, providing the time, expertise and resources charities need to support the people who rely on them most. I look forward to building on the impact we achieved together last year.”
During 2025, RBS International donated funds to 50 charities across the Crown Dependencies and Gibraltar, including 13 in Guernsey, such as At Home In Guernsey.
This funding enabled the charity to recruit dedicated, temporary resource to work alongside the States of Guernsey on the Homelessness Delivery and Implementation Plan – a bold, cross‑committee strategy aimed at tackling the causes and effects of homelessness locally.
Jim Roberts, Director and Chief Executive of the Guernsey Community Foundation, said: “Working with RBS International has been a deeply rewarding experience. They were quick to understand our needs and eager to assist, all the while asking searching and constructive questions that helped the Foundation and At Home In Guernsey develop and refine our application. The team has remained actively involved and is genuinely interested in seeing the positive effects of their donation.”
