100,000 volunteering hours and raise £4 million for charitable causes. All permanent and fixed term


contract employees, including graduates and apprentices, are eligible to request three days per calendar year to volunteer during business hours. Volunteering time is in addition to an employee’s holiday entitlement and is paid leave. “Our official volunteering


opportunities aim to reflect the bank’s two focus areas: Enterprise and Financial Education,” says a bank spokesperson. “This sees us working closely with the Prince’s Trust across the UK and through Moneysense – a financial skills programme for schools where staff host classes at schools across the country to teach young people the basics of finance. “Additionally, in Scotland, the bank


supports a number of charities and groups and in many different ways. In terms of main charity fundraising, our key partner is the STV Children’s Appeal, which raises money for children living in poverty in Scotland. “We have supported the appeal


since its inception and our work, which includes partnering and taking part in Kiltwalks across the country, has raised more than £1 million for its work.”
