Clann Credo Social Finance Executive, Jennifer Hennessey, was recently interviewed by Business Plus Magazine for an article on Social Finance.
The article entitled "Bank Finance With A Social Purpose" appeared in the August 2010 issue of the magazine. It explores the Social Finance Foundation (which provides capital to Clann Credo) and the role of Social Finance in Ireland. Ms Hennessey told the magazine: “The SFF scheme has been a huge success. We're out the door with applications at the moment. With finance drying up at their own bank, firms are seeking to access working capital and bridging loans."
The article also profiled a number of projects that have been funded by Clann Credo, including Vantastic and the Millennium Family Resource Centre in Glengoole, near Thurles in Co Tipperary.
