Communitybuilders Investment

The Communitybuilders Fund is a £70 million investment fund which takes forward a Government committment to build more cohesive, empowered and active communities.

Communitybuilders invests in the sustainability of multi-purpose, inclusive, community-led organisations (sometimes known as Community Anchors). These organisations can be the platform to support empowered communities by:

  • providing a place for community activities to take place
  • providing and running local services
  • stimulating community involvement and enterprise
  • generating independent sources of income


Communitybuilders offers loans, grants and business support. There are three different elements to the fund which are meant to meet the needs of organisations at different stages in their journey to sustainability. We recognise that all organisations will be at different stages of development, and that some will need more support than others.

To find out more about whether you might be eligible, visit the Communitybuilders Fund website.


Money and more

Our investment is more than money. We provide knowledge and expertise as well as loans and grants to help organisations think long term.
