Guide to Accessing Community Finance
If you wish to find out how to access community finance for voluntary led groups come along to the Brockagh Centre on Wednesday 9 September at 7.30 p.m. More and more community enterprises are realising that grants cannot fully meet all of their funding needs. It is now becoming necessary for them to generate their own capital in order to fulfil both development and cash flow requirements. Consequently loan funding, and in particular Social Finance, is becoming a primary tool in satisfying these needs. Find out more by coming along on the night or check out www.communityfinance.ie.
