Social lending Robert finds the current social lending marketplace frustrating. ‘There are too few lenders, too little money and not enough practical thinking when it comes to supporting vulnerable social enterprise start-ups or small charities going through change,’ he says. ‘That’s why I’m working with the Community Foundation Network to develop a community foundation loans brand.’
This will provide the most vulnerable organisations with the right mix of grant, loan and advice. ‘Often all three are needed to help an organisation grow, so it makes sense to make a Community Foundation the independent one stop shop where people can go.’ Robert knows the social lending landscape and can help you navigate it.
