Late Spring Round Up

Annual Stakeholder Survey Results

Thank you to everyone who took part in our Annual Survey!

We’re delighted to say that the results are in and they make for enjoyable reading after what’s been a difficult year all round.

Ethics and employee ownership are still in style

Scott Bader is celebrating 100 years of existence, and 70 years of Employee Ownership in 2021.

A £5,000 donation from Scott Bader, matched by other donations, helped launch Industrial Common Ownership Finance (ICOF) - the organisation that preceded us. Since then, we have lent over £15M through our standalone funds

Most people know Co-op and Community Finance as the lender for social purpose, providing loan finance to co-ops, employee-owned and community-owned businesses for nearly 50 years. But that’s not all we do!

We also provide a comprehensive range of fund management services to organisations that share our values.
