Mission
Camden Community Wealth Fund is a £30 million social investment fund with people in Camden helping to decide how we invest the money. Starting in 2025, an initial £4 million will be invested in Camden organisations to reduce inequality and transform the quality of life for people in Camden.
Providing repayable loans and / or equity finance to businesses and other organisations across Camden, Camden Community Wealth Fund will invest in the We Make Camden Missions for the future of the Borough. Funding business and other organisations that can show both a financial return and positive benefits for the people of Camden.
We are looking for bold partners who believe in the mission of the fund as we know working alongside you the impact of Camden Community Wealth Fund will be greater than if we do it alone.
We Make Camden
In the past few years, Camden has come together in new and inspiring ways to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing the borough. In 2022, we published We Make Camden – our vision for the future of Camden. It set out what we want to collectively achieve and lead together and was developed in collaboration with residents, partners and community leaders.
During the pilot phase, Camden Community Wealth Fund will help us deliver on two of those Missions:
- Diversity: Those holding positions of power in Camden are as diverse as our community – and the next generation is ready to follow. Our Diversity Fund has been created to respond to this goal.
- Young People: Every young person has access to economic opportunity that enables them to be safe and secure.
To help achieve this, Camden Community Wealth Fund will:
- Invest in organisations delivering products and / or services to people in Camden which work to reduce inequalities in the Borough
- Involve people in Camden deciding where, how and what investments are made
- Work with bold partners to further the reach and impact of Camden Community Wealth Fund
