Communitybuilders is a £70m investment fund which takes forward a commitment within the Communities in Control: real people, real power White Paper to build more cohesive, empowered and active communities. A consortium led by Adventure Capital Fund (ACF) will deliver the Communitybuilders funding programme in partnership with Futurebuilders England and the Community Alliance. The fund is designed to strengthen the financial resilience of community led organisations - often referred to as ‘community anchors’ - who are looking to develop enterprise activities.
The aim of the Communitybuilders programme is to help anchor organisations adapt the way they operate so that if they chose to do so they can run enterprise activities, such as managed workspaces, conference facilities or take up service contracts.
This innovative investment fund comprises grants and loans and non financial support to help both existing and newly formed organisations move to a more sustainable and enterprising business model and establish themselves as successful community businesses for generations to come.
