Lloyd’s Community Programme
HAL is a member of the award-winning Lloyd’s Community Programme (LCP) which gives people working at Lloyd’s and in the Lloyd’s Market the opportunity to ‘put something back’ into the community on their doorstep through volunteering. It is run by the Community Affairs team at Lloyd’s and involves over 60 companies in the Lloyd’s Market.

Volunteering
HAL joined the LCP in 2009 and is working with the LCP team to create a volunteering programme for HAL staff, enabling them to give their time and skills for the benefit of the local community.
 
Stepping Stones City Farm
Stepping Stones City Farm in Tower Hamlets provides educational and recreational facilities to the local community and is run entirely by volunteers.  The farm has livestock including donkeys, sheep, cows, pigs, and poultry, a wildlife pond, community vegetable growing, recycling, and composting.  In August 2009 a team of twelve volunteers from HAL volunteered their time to help rebuild a stable for the two donkeys, George and Dunstan. Volunteers also constructed a ‘planter’ for the community growing project, painted fences, and helped maintain the paddocks.  HAL hopes to support Stepping Stones in future and become more involved in their work.
