Since 2017, Lothian has championed the causes of a number of charities close to our colleagues’ hearts through our Charity of Choice initiative.

Every two years Lothian welcomes applications from charitable causes to serve as the focus of the company’s fundraising efforts, to amplify their messages, and raise awareness across our colleagues and customers. Following a shortlisting process led by the Charity of Choice committee, the final decision is then passed to Lothian’s 2,500+ strong workforce who take a final vote on who will be named the company’s Charity of Choice.

How to apply

Our next Charity of Choice partnership will begin in January 2027.

Applications are not yet open – please check back at a later date.

Our Charities Committee, made up of representatives from across our business including Unite, will select a shortlist for colleagues to choose from in due course.
