Collecting your stories

At Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wales we think small charities have an important role in campaigning for and influencing change. All kinds of change. Whether it's improving referral pathways, raising the voice of clients, shaping wider services or changing national policy. It's probably not thought of as 'campaigning' work; it's just part and parcel of improving services. 
 
This work is vital because we know the challenges you face are great and they can't be achieved alone - that's why influencing other people, services and systems where we can is important.
 
In this short survey, we want to hear your stories of how you and your charity have campaigned for change, whether that's in your local area or more broadly. We want to learn from your examples to help us inspire others, better understand how you are already influencing change and how we can help you and others do more.
 
Please take a few moments to share your experience.
