Welcome to London Rebuilding Society
London Rebuilding Society provides loan finance and business support to social enterprises in the Greater London area. Formed in 2001, by March 31st 2008 we had approved a total of £2.3 million in loans to 80 clients - an average loan size of £29,300. For examples of the social enterprises that we lend to, please go to our Clients section.
We also provide a range of tools and training courses to help social entrepreneurs and their advisers (see Business Support).
Our funds come from individuals, companies, charitable sources, and local and central government, as well as from interest earned on the loans that we make.
London Rebuilding Society itself is a social enterprise and specialises in developing innovative forms of finance to address specific areas of need (see Housing and MAF).
