Scottish charitable bonds

Allia C&C manages the Scottish Charitable Bond programme for the Scottish Government.  This offers a unique funding solution for Scottish housing associations involved in the development of new affordable housing.

Through the programme, Scottish housing associations can access between £1 million and £20 million of funding to help with affordable housing development, through investment by Scottish Government. 

There’s added social benefit, as interest on the loans provides grant funding which Scottish Government allocates to support further social housing development – keeping the money within the sector.

Here’s why our unique Scottish charitable bonds could be the option for you:
