Community Finance Ireland

So you’ve got an idea. No, a dream. A dream that could make a difference in your community – to change something by solving a problem or creating an opportunity. First, you need to talk to somebody about a loan to make it happen. We might well be that somebody. And we’re listening.

We’re a charity and a social enterprise operating across the entire island of Ireland and our aim is to create a world-class community finance system that works tirelessly towards ensuring that positive social impact is felt – not just dreamt. www.communityfinanceireland.com #choosechange
