The UK's central bank spent just over £2,000 on three bank-wide initiatives to support its employees' wellbeing in the first year of a pandemic which has prompted a spike in mental ill-health amongst City workers.
In the year to April 2021, the Bank of England, which includes the UK’s top banking watchdog the Prudential Regulation Authority, spent £2,149 on the mental health programmes for its roughly 4,000-strong workforce, according to a Freedom of Information Act request by Financial News.
