Leonard Cheshire Disability (LCD) provides independent and confidential information, advice and guidance (IAG) and mentoring support to disabled people and carers in the banking community. This programme is delivered by Leonard Cheshire Disability and funded by the Bank Workers Charity (BWC). It combines LCD’s unique understanding of disability issues, with more than 125 years of experience BWC has in supporting employees in the banking sector.
