The housing crisis is also a mental health crisis. Housing insecurity and homelessness are often entwined with poor mental health, with 45% of people experiencing homelessness having been diagnosed with a mental health issue. We believe everyone deserves a safe space to call home. That’s why we’ll continue working in partnership with Crisis and Simon Community Northern Ireland to help end homelessness for good.

Hi I’m Mike, and I’ll be honest – I never planned to be here.    I have dyslexia, and the reality is that 20 years ago schools just didn’t have the provisions in place to support students like me. You were kind of left behind, and over time it really shattered my self-confidence.    I carried that feeling with me so that when I left school, I had no clue what I wanted to do. One of my friends started working here, and that was how I ended up joining too, just thankful to have a full-time job.    I quickly learnt that if you ask for help here it's very rare that you’ll get a no. I never felt comfortable doing that in school, but here, I feel empowered to put myself out there. It’s meant I’ve progressed into many different projects, and I’ve never looked back.    After 18 years, I wanted to feel more purpose in what I was doing at work, and after chatting with my mentor, I realised Sustainability was something that really interested me. Thanks to my own persistence and the support of people around me, I’m now in a role that gives me exactly what I was looking for.    I’m proud to be a Sustainability Manager in the Operational Sustainability team. It’s amazing to work with such incredible people that inspire me every day transform the way we work.    Find out more about my story: https://lnkd.in/eGdgvZsP #LoveToWorkAtLBG #DyslexiaAwareness

Presenting episode 1 in ‘The Bank on Her’ series, where we celebrate some of the women across Lloyds Banking Group who are making a massive impact at work and in their communities to help Britain prosper!   To honour their contribution, we're pairing each colleague with a woman artist to capture their success.   We’re kicking things off with a powerful sculpture by Marilene, celebrating the journey of Anna, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Manager. From her roots in Northern Ireland to becoming an LGBTQ+ advocate, Anna’s story of courage and authenticity is beautifully captured in this piece. ✨ A huge thanks to Marilene for this masterpiece and to Anna for showing up so authentically! You both inspire us! 👏💖
