We provide loans of £250,000 or more to like-minded businesses to help them develop and improve their facilities and services and address social, economic or environmental needs in their local communities.

Our lending practices are aligned with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with particular focus on health and wellbeing; community spaces and services; education, skills and employment; financial inclusion and the environment.

Every lending proposal that comes to us is aligned with one or more of the SDGs to ensure that our funding creates quantifiable impact.
