🤩 Apprentices got talent! Last week we held our Apprenticeship Awards, celebrating our incredible apprentices and the teams supporting them.  A massive well done to the winners, and all our apprentices across the business who are smashing it in building their skills and their futures. Why not give a shout out to any amazing apprentices you’re lucky to work with in the comments. #LBGImagineWhatsNext

Fraud can have a devastating effect on people’s lives.   That’s why we've joined forces with with City of London Police and industry partners to select and fund existing projects that continue our fight against fraud.   We're using money captured from fraudsters to support initiatives with Victim Support, We Fight Fraud, & Age UK, aiming to provide fraud awareness, education and help to victims.

Today, alongside industry partners like Octopus Energy and Baringa we've launched the Sustainable Markets Initiative homes hub report. The report looks at what our industries can do to build more clean tech homes. But what are clean tech homes? Well, we're glad you asked. They're homes that are 'Net Zero' ready as the energy they use will be carbon-free once the National Grid achieves its 100% clean energy target. And as one of the UK's largest mortgage providers we know we have an important role to play in increasing the number of these homes. So we're pledging to evolve our affordability assessments to recognise the lower running costs of more energy efficient homes. As a private landlord through Citra Living Limited we're also pledging to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels to power the homes we rent. Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/gVFh3-RQ

A credit score gives lenders an idea of how likely someone is to repay what they borrow. This is based on their track record of using credit and managing their finances. Through our Your Credit Score tool, we're helping more than 10 million customers to take control of their finances: https://lnkd.in/eT79QG_R

⚽We’re cheering on England as they head into the Euro 2024 final!   …It’s coming home.

Sunday's final is set to be a massive result for the economy - whatever the score. ⚽ The last time the England men’s team made it to the Euros final, back in July 2021, supermarkets scored an 8% week-on-week uplift, while pubs and restaurants netted a 16% boost. This Sunday, we’re expecting a similar uplift with Lloyds Bank customers set to spend an extra £19m.

🤷It’s just a tech event, surely it won’t have a big impact….right? WRONG! The brilliant Andrew is a shining example of why we love our Reboot colleague events and hackathons. He’s thrown himself into them, and was inspired to change his career trajectory from customer service assistant to software engineer apprentice. We know he’s going to absolutely smash his tech journey. ⭐ 

Only question in the office today...
