Significant events
- “In 2024, Charity Bank made significant strides by innovating and expanding our support to impact-driven organisations, while securing a strong surplus to reinvest in our social mission.”
- “2024 was a record year in terms of drawdowns of new loans, disbursing £70.0 million compared to £53.5 million in 2023. Consequently, the net outstanding loan portfolio at the end of the year stood at £331 million, up from £285 million at year-end 2023. Approvals of new loans also hit a record high at £85.4 million, giving the bank strong momentum as we begin 2025 with ambitious new lending targets.”
- “In 2024, we approved loans totalling £23.3 million to 33 diverse-led organisations, compared to £15.0 million to 28 diverse-led organisations in 2023.”
- “In 2024, this included a loan to the Eden Project in Cornwall, a global garden, educational charity, and social enterprise.”
- “Charity Bank launched the Charity Bank Brighter Futures Fund ('BFF') in Q4 2024.”
- “Charity Bank received Green Level accreditation from Investors in the Environment ('iiE') in 2024 (the highest level of certification), in recognition of our continued commitment to reducing our operating emissions and working towards net zero, whilst supporting our customers to do the same.”
- “In 2024, Charity Bank opted-in to the PRA's Small Domestic Deposit-Takers ('SDDT') regime, also known as 'Strong & Simple'. The SDDT regime is expected to simplify some of the regulatory requirements on banks. It takes effect from 1 January 2027.”
