ROBERT OWEN COMMUNITY BANKING FUND
Since 2006, Robert Owen Community Banking Fund has been providing ethical loans for local businesses, people and communities across Wales.
We are based in Newtown, Powys, the birthplace of 19th Century social reformer Robert Owen, who fathered the Cooperative Movement. Like our namesake, we believe that by supporting basic principles of fairness, accountability and cooperation, we can help build a more mutually prosperous society.
The objectives of Robert Owen Community Banking Fund are:
To invest in the development of businesses and new start up ventures in order to sustain the local economy.
To invest in making Welsh homes safe, warm, secure and low in carbon.
To assist communities to develop successful community energy schemes, that can reinvest income or savings to help other community projects.
We provide ethical investment opportunities for businesses, charities and local authorities.
I couldn’t have done this without you, this loan has helped me move production from my kitchen table to a dedicated facility!
I think I love you, thank you so much Jackie. We'll definitely stay in touch as I may need some help in the future.
