Funding secures the future of social firms
Two Coventry social enterprises have secured their futures to help those living in the city, thanks to funding from Whitefriars Housing.
Love Coventry, a re-use centre for household goods and furniture, and Bedouin Nights, a Turkish catering initiative, are the two social enterprises that have been awarded funding Whitefriars’ Social Loan scheme for budding business brains.
The two organisations faced a Dragons’ Den style panel to pitch for funding. They have received £30,000 in total helping them get the businesses off the ground to help benefit the local communities.
The Social Loan scheme is available for people looking tostart social enterprises – businesses that trade for social or environmental purposes and reinvests profits to further their social mission.
Love Coventry, run by Bill Watt, has set up a new warehouse and website shop offering pre-used goods, as well as low-cost furniture and appliances to help tenants furnish and equip their homes at an affordable price.
Bill said: “We are delighted that the initiative is going to help so many people in Coventry on a low or no income and those starting out in rented accommodation.” Goods will be donated to Love Coventry and displayed in the re-use warehouse in Sparkbrook Street, in Hillfields, soon to move to 23 Parkside CV1 2NE as well as on the website www.lovecov.com contact Bill on T: 07766 555 556 E: info@lovecoventry.com
