The Co-operative Loan Fund

The Co-operative Loan Fund was set up to strengthen the size and scope of the co-operative sector through the provision of ethical, accessible loan finance. It is funded and run by co-operatives with the specific aim of helping other co-operatives – a practical example of the principle of co-operation among co-operatives.

We work closely with a number of organisations involved in co-operative development including Co-operative & Community Finance, The Co-operative Community Shares Fund, Co-operatives UK and the Plunkett Foundation.
