Grants & Loans for Social Enterprises and Charities supporting those affected by the cost-of-living crisis.

Access Programme
The Access Programme supports social enterprises and charities in the wider West Midlands addressing the pressing cost-of-living crisis.

The programme, funded by Access – The Foundation for Social Investment and working in collaboration with the Coventry & Warwickshire Reinvestment Trust provides grants and loans to organisations that are deep rooted in supporting those affected by the cost-of-living crisis.

Through a combination of grants and loans, the Access Programme empowers social enterprises and charities to expand their activities to meet the rising demand at a time when its needed the most. This initiative is looking for organisations to diversify and root their service models in enterprise activity. This fund ensures that these vital organisations can effectively navigate and alleviate the challenges faced by them, ultimately benefitting the communities that need it the most.

Grants up to £7,500 available as well as grant and debt combination from £20,000 to £40,000 with grants of up to 50%.

The programme also provides 1-hour online health check review session delivered by us here at Coventry and Warwickshire CDA and access to a peer-to-peer network of like-minded organisations
