How community finance and Fair4All Finance can work together

How community finance and Fair4All Finance can work together to transform the provision of affordable credit

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic makes transforming affordable credit more important than ever. We all need to go beyond emergency responses and think about the future.

We know that’s not as easy as it sounds so we’ve launched our Navigating uncertainty guide for community finance providers. The guide comes in two parts and is based on the work we did last year on our own scenario planning and strategy:

  1. Navigating uncertainty – a scenario planning toolkit and framework to help community finance providers work with their boards and teams to manage during difficult periods and seize the opportunity to further transform their business
  2. How community finance and Fair4All Finance can work together – to scale the provision of affordable credit, including the specific areas we’re focusing our resources on to do this

We hope these tools prove useful as together we embark on the challenges of collectively growing the provision of affordable credit.
