Community Shares - promoting enterprise, equity and engagement through community shares and bonds

Community owned enterprises will benefit from an exciting new government-backed initiative which aims to stimulate investment through community share and bond issues.Community investment is different. Instead of turning to the private sector and wealthy individuals for support, community investment is about engaging communities to invest in themselves.By harnessing the collective investment powers of whole communities, large amounts of capital can be raised in small sums from members of the community. This new two year action research project will  support 10 enterprises raising equity in this way.
