Since 1995 we have been making loans to social and community enterprises who have been unable to secure funds from traditional sources.

By providing loan finance, LIF enables community organisations to move from grant dependency and towards self-sufficiency.

The purpose of the LIF website is for you to find out who we are, what we do and whether or not we can help your organisation. There is even an on-line Loan Application Form - the first step towards getting the financial support you need for your organisation.

If you have any questions about any aspect of the work of the Local Investment Fund then please contact us - and we always welcome suggestions and comments about the site.

We hope you will find this site useful in finding out more about LIF.
