The story behind the fund

The Resonance Community Developers, which is open for investment, is a social impact fund that is designed to help communities meet local needs by creating and owning income-generating assets, such as affordable homes, sports and leisure facilities and renewable energy generation. The fund is operating in three main geographies - Greater Manchester, Devon & Cornwall and Gloucestershire, but also expanded its remit to cover other regions where there is an aligned demand. 

Resonance Community Developers builds on our track record of successfully investing into communities through our Community Share Underwriting Fund and Affordable Homes Rental Fund. Together, these two funds supported a total of twenty-two projects, with £8.3m invested and underwritten by Resonance.
