Club Capital is a social impact investment fund, backed by British Gymnastics, Sport England, Big Society Capital and the Bank Workers' Charity, and is the first of its kind to focus specifically on gymnastics.
Research carried out by British Gymnastics has shown that a lack of dedicated facilities is one of the main, proven barriers to young people accessing and benefiting from participating in recreational gymnastics. Club Capital enables more investment into dedicated gymnastics facilities to help tackle this issue.
Club Capital provides simple, affordable, flexible loans to eligible gymnastic clubs seeking to secure new or expand facility projects.
The £10m Club Capital fund offers secured and unsecured loans of between £25,000 to £250,000 (up to £750,000 in exceptional circumstances) to enable clubs to safeguard their existing facilities or to move into new or expanded dedicated gymnastics facilities. Most loans will be over 4 years at an interest rate of 4%. In exceptional circumstances, acquisition finance may also be available.
Sporting Assets are the Fund Manager.
