It is the 150th signatory to the charter that supports mental wellbeing in the industry
Lloyds Banking Group has become the 150th signatory to the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter (MIMHC), a growing initiative aimed at supporting mental wellbeing across the industry.
Through its Halifax Intermediaries, Birmingham Midshires, and Scottish Widows Bank brands, Lloyds has joined the MIMHC, which was launched three years ago to provide resources and expert guidance to help companies enhance the mental health of their employees and partners.
Nicola Golder (pictured), senior manager of intermediary experience at Lloyds Banking Group, highlighted the importance of the move.
“We are delighted to become signatories of the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter through our brands,” Golder said. “Mental health is a critical area for us as we continue to enhance the support we provide to both our colleagues and intermediary partners.”
As part of the commitment, Lloyds will promote mental health awareness and offer resources to support employees and intermediary partners. The charter provides firms with access to mental health tools, webinars, and expert referrals aimed at fostering a healthier workplace environment.
The MIMHC has positioned itself as a key platform for mental health support in the mortgage sector. Signing up to the charter is free, and firms are encouraged to actively engage with its resources to improve their own mental health programmes.
Scott Howitt, co-founder of MIMHC and sales director at Chartwell Mortgage Services, welcomed Lloyds’ decision to join the initiative.
“Having Lloyds Banking Group onboard, which in turn marks our 150th signatory, are two significant milestones for the Mortgage Industry Mental Health Charter,” Howitt said. “Their influence and leadership in the mortgage space will help us drive positive change across the industry.”
