As a long-standing supporter of CDFIs, Unity Trust Bank has provided ART with £20.4m funding since 2005. Our lending enables ART to nurture organisations and entrepreneurs, like I Am Yogi and KPM Marine, that are unable to access finance to grow through more traditional routes. Together, we help create positive impact and improve the lives of people in local communities.
