About Us
London Rebuilding Society (LRS) is a Community Development Finance Institution which targets the most socially deprived, financially excluded and hardest to reach communities in the Greater London area.
Community Development Finance aims to regenerate and develop communities by injecting cash into one part of a local economy in such a way that a domino effect is produced and the whole community receives a benefit.
LRS specialises in creating innovative products which bridge the gap between sources of finance and the people who really need it. We lend to enterprises that have social as well as financial objectives, but which find it hard to raise funds from conventional sources. We call them 'viable but not yet bankable' enterprises.
LRS is also piloting a home improvement scheme, based on equity reversion, which is aimed at vulnerable, low-income homeowners whose homes are unhealthy and dangerous.
