Project Duration: 2014

This study explored the viability and feasibility of loan funding for voluntary and community sector organisations in Cumbria. The focus of the study was on loans in the range £5k-50k. This reflected feedback from VCS organisations in Cumbria that this segment of the social investment market is underserved in Cumbria. The study was conducted in partnership with the Charity Bank.

The project team also included Kiri Langmead, Ellen Bennett (Sheffield Hallam University) and Professor Tony Chapman (Durham University).
