Charity says bank support has been vital

Victim Support has been working with RBS International

A local charity says the support they've been given from RBS International has been "crucial" and "vital".

Victim Support is one of 13 causes on the Island that has been helped by the bank through its Community Involvement Strategy which was launched last year.

Assistance is not only financial but also includes mentoring and volunteering.

In 2026, the bank supported 50 charities, contributing 8,610 volunteer hours and providing 15 mentors to partner organisations.

The strategy focuses on helping vulnerable children, victims of abuse, and people affected by poverty, while offering both funding and skills-based support.

CEO of Victim Support, Lorna Trevethan, says they've enjoyed working with RBS, adding the support has made a big difference to them, bringing a modern, fresh approach to their work.
