Lloyd's Market
Charity Awards

What we do

The Lloyd’s of London Foundation is proud to support causes that are close to the hearts of our people in the Lloyd’s Corporation and in the Lloyd’s market. We know our colleagues across the market dedicate their time and efforts to volunteer and fundraise for charities they are passionate about – so we want to help them do that and celebrate the people who have gone above and beyond for a charity close to their hearts. To recognise their hard work winners receive a donation to the charity they have supported.

The impact

The awards are a long standing initiative for the Lloyd’s market. Since its inception the awards have supported 400 colleagues across the market and Corporation and donated £2million by the Lloyd’s of London Foundation to our winner’s nominated charities. In 2023, applicants from across the market fundraised £1million for charity and contributed 6000+ volunteering hours.
