RBS International has launched its 2025 Community Involvement Strategy, with a commitment to donate £275k to charities across the Crown Dependencies during the first three months of the year.
The firm says the new strategy will support vulnerable communities by partnering with local charities and foundations.
Oliver Holbourn, CEO of RBS International, said they chose the charities to ensure the money reaches the people and organisations who need it most.
“The rising cost of living has impacted some of the most vulnerable communities in our local jurisdictions and is putting increasing demand on charities who are also struggling financially,” he said.
“To help with these pressures, the strategy we have announced today provides targeted support to charities and community foundations that help those who need it most.
“We believe in a society where everyone can thrive and we look forward to working closely with local charities to uplift and empower these vulnerable groups.”
Les Bourgs Hospice received a donation from the bank last year and is a recipient this year too.
Liz Stonebridge, Fundraising Administrator said they remain grateful for the support.
“The hospice was incredibly grateful to receive support from RBS International in 2024. We are solely funded by charitable donations which means that every penny makes a difference for the continued delivery of free, specialist palliative care to our patients, as well as support for their families.”
Steve Byrne, GSPCA Manager and CEO, said he was very grateful to be a recipient last year.
“We were delighted to receive an incredible donation from RBS International last year. With rising costs and thousands of animals through our doors every year, and our biggest build in our history about to start at the animal shelter, we couldn’t do so much without individuals and businesses like RBS International.”
