Trust Leeds
About Us
Trust Leeds brings the global models of self-reliant groups and micro-finance to improve the wealth and wellbeing of our region.
We do this in three ways
1. Nurturing community Self-Reliant Groups (SRGs) which build confidence, skills, savings and enterprise-thinking in peer support groups.
2. Energising ‘Be Your Own Boss’ Self-Reliant Groups, which support unemployed and under-employed people: to think through the personal, financial and operational considerations of becoming self-employed; to have the key features of their business plan in place; and to grow a cohort of peers and business coaches to build their confidence and business.
3. Providing small, ethical personal loans for business purposes for enterprising people who face money or credit problems.
Growing communities and businesses through sharing, saving and lending
As a charity our funding is donated so that we can work exclusively with people who want to change their lives: entrepreneurial people who are under-served, caught in a poverty trap, and/or facing challenges and disadvantages.
