Big Issue/NECA Flexible Social Finance Fund: Finance for Social Enterprises

The Flexible Social Finance Fund, in partnership with The North East Mayoral Strategic Authority exists for just those circumstances. It provides repayable finance from £30,000 to £400,000 that is shaped around an organisation’s situation, recognising that flexibility is sometimes essential for long-term sustainability.

Rather than offering a fixed product, the fund responds to real circumstances and works with organisations to find an appropriate way forward.This includes organisations struggling to secure loans from traditional sources.
