Meet the Funder with Royal Bank of Scotland Social and Community Capital

Join us for this Meet the Funder webinar with Tracy Thomson Loan Officer from Social and Community Capital - a charity funded by the Royal Bank of Scotland that supports social enterprises, charities and community organisations who can’t access mainstream finance.

Social and Community Capital provides flexible funding and support to organisations across Scotland, with a particular focus on:

• Employment, education and training
• Services supporting people experiencing inequality
• Community regeneration

Their funding is open to all eligible organisations - you do not need to be a Royal Bank of Scotland customer to apply. Tracy will introduce Social and Community Capital’s range of loan options designed to meet different organisational needs, including:

• Property Purchase Loan - for buying or renovating a property
• Flexible Growth Funding - for organisations looking to grow and increase their impact
• Working Capital Loan - to smooth cashflow and cover essential running costs
• Bridging Loan - to help manage VAT payments or overheads before grant funding is received

During the session, you’ll learn about Social and Community Capital’s criteria, what makes a strong application, the support available throughout the process, and examples of Scottish organisations they’ve helped. In addition, Kirsty Young, SCVO’s Funding Scotland Development Officer, will deliver a short input on Funding Scotland and the wider support SCVO provides around funding. The webinar will conclude with an opportunity to ask questions and network with other organisations.

Organisations looking for funding to support their community.

Please note, this session will be recorded and made available on SCVO’s YouTube page following the event.
