LFBF also recognises the highest level of professional competence by awarding chartered status to individuals who have demonstrated their commitment to continued education and professional excellence within Financial Services.
Our Story
The London Foundation for Banking & Finance (LFBF) started life back in March 1879, when a group of bank workers came together to establish leadership and professional practice principles for the industry. They created the first Institute of Bankers in England and Wales to offer educational resources to those in the sector.
Over the years, the organisation developed its own industry leading qualifications to create a gold standard of banking and financial education. It also established itself as a leading voice in the banking world, providing invaluable insights into all areas of the industry and promoting the highest standards of professional competency.
Today, we exist to support the advancement of knowledge and education in financial services. Previously, we were called The London Institute of Banking and Finance (LIBF), and we were renamed following the sale of our education and training activities in March 2023.

2026/27 is a pivotal time for the Muscle Help Foundation (MHF) charity. Marking its 23rd year of operation, MHF is now moving beyond its founding 657 mission set in March 2003, to a new mission. Exciting times! A key Board appointment, the Treasurer will maintain an overview of MHF's financial affairs, ensuring continued sustainability.
What will you be doing?
We're looking for that special person to be a part of a small and friendly team that can help contribute to MHF's future continued mission and vision.
Our existing Treasurer is also MHF's Interim Chair. As a high achiever, the need for a standalone Treasurer is required to ease the pressure.

What are we looking for?
- Time to dedicate to the role of Treasurer. Excellent communicator with good listening & interpersonal skills
- Professional or relevant finance & business-related experience and knowledge and/or the ability to demonstrate the necessary financial skills needed to support MHF's professional interests
- The intellectual capacity to grasp issues outside personal experience and the ability to contribute to high level strategy development
What difference will you make?
As someone with financial skills, you can help ensure MHF's board can understand & review the charity's financial position with greater confidence. Following an away-day last year, several new missions were developed as MHF is now within touching distance of realising its original 657 mission set in March 2003, some 23 years ago. We plan on announcing the new mission imminently, meaning within the next 2-3 months. Truly exiting times ahead. Interested in being a part of the journey? Let's have a conversation and see where we go.
Together, with families and as a community, we enrich lives touched by Muscular Dystrophy, empowering them to thrive.

About The Connection at St Martin’s
No one should have to sleep rough on London’s streets and everyone should get the support they need to find a place to call home.
This is an exciting time for The Connection. Although rough sleeping is increasing on our streets, we believe we have the solutions. To meet the growing need for our help, we need to secure more resources. We are planning a new fundraising strategy so that we can save lives, work more closely with health services and get more people into long term accommodation.
About the Role
To achieve this, we are looking for more fundraising expertise at Board level. We are looking for a senior fundraising professional to join our active and skilled board. Ideally you are a Fundraising Director working in a successful medium to large charity, with strong knowledge of highly effective, innovative fundraising teams. You will guide us to get the best from the resources we put in and steer further investment to support ambitious growth.
We have a particular interest in major donor and corporate fundraising as these are areas where we have the opportunities for growth. We are also keen to build relationships with senior leaders at funder organisations and encourage them to act as ambassadors to promote our cause.
The Connection has very strong brand recognition for our size due to our location in the centre of London and our long standing relationship with the BBC through the Radio 4 Christmas Appeal. Help us with our step change in fundraising so that we can make a huge difference to people sleeping rough on our streets.
