We’re committed to helping businesses to grow and prosper through responsible finance and work with a range of Community Development Finance Institutions (CDFIs) around the UK. Our work with CDFIs provides finance for SMEs and social enterprises that find it difficult to access finance through traditional routes.
In 2022, the UK Social Investment Sector was estimated to reach £7.9 billion committed to social purpose organisations; with Unity Trust Bank in the top three lenders.
Unity Trust Bank aligns its lending practices to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
SDG 17 promotes public, private and civil society partnerships which enable socio-economic growth and stability, collaborating with others to eliminate poverty and support the development of strong businesses.
