The Recovery Loan Fund is now the Community Builders Fund, and it’s live!

The Community Builders Fund, previously the Recovery Loan Fund, supports impact-led charities and social enterprises across England, Wales, and Scotland with flexible loans of £100k to £1.5m to help them grow and build long-term resilience. We are delighted to be new partners as the fund relaunches.

Building on the success of the Recovery Loan Fund, this £17m fund, delivered by Social Investment Business (SIB) brings together five new partners – Groundwork, Homeless Link, Co-operative and Community Finance, Fredericks Foundation, and The Architectural Heritage Fund. Together we aim to ensure investment reaches organisations tackling some of our most pressing social and environmental challenges.

Tim Coomer our Business Development Manager said “We are really pleased to be involved in the relaunch of this fund, we worked successfully with Social Investment Business and partners on the Thrive Together Programme last year and were really keen to build on that relationship. We see this fund is an opportunity to support community businesses and community co-op’s to access higher levels of unsecured finance than we can typically offer, and help the co-op sector grow”.
