LLOYDS Banking Group has joined forces with the School for Social Entrepreneurs, which has a branch in Fife, to increase the number of community-focused businesses.

Over the next five years, the bank will support 500 budding social entrepreneurs across the UK to either get their businesses off the ground or to expand their companies.

From April, 100 a year will receive support from the school in addition to a grant of between £4,000 and £25,000. Lloyds has made an undisclosed donation to the school to fund the programme.

Real businesses go to banks who don't always look for a personal guarantee and actually try to understand their accounts- ie real businesses don't go to Lloyds Bank of Scotland Lloyds incidentally has been trying to get out of its charitable ex TSB commitments-so don't be fooled
