2012 begins with a special high profile Community Development Finance Association double-event.
4.30 – 7.00 pm 31st January 2012, Hub Westminster, London
First, our new vision for the community finance sector – an ambitious yet achievable plan to ensure that communities across the UK have access to fair and affordable finance, entitled:
Just Finance: The Community Solution
This ‘manifesto’ – realised through the support of The LankellyChase Foundation – will outline how community finance, already so crucial to credit easing and micro-level economic recovery, can grow to offer Government and banks a solution to provide access to credit for more SMEs, social enterprises and individuals.
Next, our inaugural Innovation Awards, sponsored by Barclays, showcasing ‘best in class’ CDFIs by recognising excellence in New Technology, Marketing, Community Outreach, New Markets and Partnerships. Read more about the awards and nominees in our press release.
The whole event will bring together community finance members, other social investment innovators, policy makers, MPs, banks, entrepreneurs and other key stakeholders for this initiation of a new chapter.
The event is free but places are limited, if you would like to attend please send your expression of interest, stating your name and organisation, to [email protected]
