Kekirawa and Piliyandala LB Finance branches support national efforts with blood donation drives

The undisputed leader in the non-banking financial institution sector, LB Finance is and constantly will be a concerned corporate citizen of Sri Lanka. The institution pledged profoundly with the community for nearly five decades of service, and it remains to grow its CSR projects each year. The workforce across the country are truthfully devoted to uphold this view of how a corporate citizen should conduct business in the community.

In keeping with this ethos, the Kekirawa branch of LB Finance recently celebrated its fourth year anniversary with a blood donation campaign which was conducted for the fourth consecutive year. The staff members of the branch wished to carry out this donation to assist in the national efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, 7 October saw an enthusiastic turnout from the Kekirawa branch staff and voluntary donors. On donating, they were each given a sapling to plant at home for plantation.

In the same vein, the Dampe Sudarmarama Temple opened its doors to the public on 20 September, to donate blood alongside with the Piliyandala branch. This event saw many of the residents of the area join the workforce in donating and it was a valuable community event.

LB Finance is truly blessed in its civic-minded workforce, who are true representatives of the company and its values. Their continued efforts to engage with and work for the community have helped LB Finance create and retain a strong position in the hearts and minds of its clients.

LB Finance remains committed to uplifting Sri Lankan lives and with this goal in mind, the organisation constantly and consistently engages in many projects and initiatives that can benefit the country. The CSR arm of LB Finance is primarily engaged in three areas: Future 1st, Sustainability, and Health 1st.
