Urban development best practices
Based in South Yorkshire, England, the Key Fund has been providing grants, loans and equity finance packages to social enterprises and voluntary groups in the region for over a decade. Its dual aim is to help social enterprises which have traditionally been unable to access mainstream finance, and to boost business creation in socially deprived areas. Recent years have seen a push in the fund towards loans (or a mixture of loans and grants) over pure grants, with the effect of instilling in social enterprises a keener business imperative.
