Pin Badge Appeal

Every year the HBOS Foundation supports charities by offering pin badges each month for sale to customers and colleagues in Halifax and Bank of Scotland branches. To try and raise as much money as possible for each charity we apply the following criteria when choosing a charity:

• The charity must have popular appeal, both with HBOS plc colleagues and customers
• The charity must be regularly supported through the HBOS Foundation colleague matched funding scheme
• The charity must work with Big Badge Company, who secure the license for a particular character badge

A full list of the charities selected for 2008 is set out below:
