Lyvennet Community Trust
Location: Crosby
Loan Amount: £1,000,000
Date: November 2011
The Trust is one of the first community groups supported as part of the Big Society vanguard area. £1m of funding from Charity Bank allowed the Trust to appoint contractors to start building affordable homes on the disused Cumbria Stoneworks site in Crosby Ravensworth.
"The approval of funding for our scheme marks a major milestone for our housing plans. After all the effort put into the LCT by the local community, it is superb to receive such vital support from the HCA, Eden District Council and the Charity Bank to help progress our vision to this exciting stage."
David Graham, chair of LCT
