About us

The London Foundation for Banking & Finance’s (LFBF) is a registered charity incorporated by Royal Charter. Our charitable purpose ‘is the advancement of knowledge of and education in financial services and to carry out research and publish the results for the benefit of the public.’

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.

Today, our focus is on:

• Supporting our members and creating community: We support financial services professionals, nurturing diversity, innovation and professional excellence. We believe that working with the financial services industry is crucial for building financial capability.

Chair of Trustees / Millimetres 2 Mountains Foundation CIO

About Us:

Millimetres 2 Mountains Foundation (M2M) is a charity dedicated to helping individuals rebuild their lives after experiencing physical or emotional trauma. Founded by former professional rugby player Ed Jackson and his wife, Lois, following Ed’s life-changing spinal injury, M2M uses the power of adventure, nature, and community to support people on their journey of recovery. 

At the heart of the charity lies the M2M Development Programme - a bespoke, holistic support system tailored to each beneficiary’s unique recovery journey. Through one-to-one mentorship, a nurturing community, and the transformative power of the outdoors (culminating in life-changing mountain expeditions abroad), M2M empowers individuals to rediscover purpose, rebuild confidence, and move forward with lasting resilience. We take on eight new beneficiaries each year, supporting up to 24 individuals at any one time. Guided by our ‘inch-wide, mile-deep’ philosophy, we focus on depth of impact over scale, ensuring each person receives the tools, encouragement, and care needed to create life-long change. This includes access to grants for physiotherapy, psychotherapy, job retraining, and any other support essential to their growth. Everyone is met exactly where they are, with a personalised plan that reflects their goals, challenges, and potential.

Alongside our core programmes, M2M runs Together Outdoors -  a community-based initiative that harnesses the healing power of nature and connection through mental health walks led by trained volunteers and Life Coaches, offering safe, inclusive spaces for honest conversation, emotional support, and personal growth. In 2026, growing and deepening the Together Outdoors community and network is at the heart of everything we're building - and this year we've taken a significant step forward with the launch of a new one-year support pathway, designed for individuals rebuilding their mental health after significant physical or psychological trauma. 

M2M is an inclusive, people first organisation. A core part of achieving our mission is that our workforce is diverse and reflective of the community that we serve. There will be no discrimination in our recruitment and selection processes, nor when considering pay and benefits.

VICE CHAIR / CO‑CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES (VOLUNTEER ROLE)

SUNSHINE Charity – Because No One Should Live in Lockdown Forever

Do you remember lockdown?

1. The silence.
2. The uncertainty.
3. The ache of missing people.
4. The feeling of being cut off from the world.

Now imagine living like that every single day — not because of a pandemic, but because loneliness has quietly become someone’s whole life.

At SUNSHINE, we refuse to let that be anyone’s reality. Not in London. Not in our communities. Not while we’re here.

We’re here to bring back joy, connection and human warmth — and we need a compassionate, steady, visionary leader to help guide us at the highest level.

Who We Are

SUNSHINE is a brand‑new, grassroots, 100% volunteer‑powered charity on a mission to brighten the lives of people experiencing loneliness and social isolation. We’re small, passionate, and building something hopeful from the ground up. We’re awaiting our charity number — but our mission is already alive, growing and ready to shine.

Now we need someone who can help steer us with wisdom, integrity and heart.

Your Role: Vice Chair / Co‑Chair of the Board

• Be a visible leader, representing SUNSHINE with warmth, professionalism and heart

• Foster a positive, inclusive Board culture, where collaboration and kindness are central

Your leadership will help ensure SUNSHINE becomes a trusted, respected and impactful charity that people feel safe turning to.

Who You Are

• You’re someone who leads with both head and heart.
• You understand governance, responsibility and accountability — but you also understand people, community and compassion.
• Maybe you’ve been a trustee before.
• Maybe you’ve chaired meetings, led teams or guided organisations through growth.
• Maybe you’ve worked in charity, public service, community leadership or strategic roles.

What matters most is your integrity, your steadiness, your belief in our mission — and your desire to help build something meaningful from the ground up.

Why Join Us Now?

Because this is the moment everything begins.

You won’t just be joining a Board — you’ll be helping to shape it. Your leadership will influence our culture. Your decisions will guide our future. Your presence will help us bring sunshine into lives that have been dark for far too long.
