The City Of London Corporation’s charitable funder City Bridge Trust set up the Stepping Stones Fund, a social investment readiness facility for charitable organisations in Greater London, in partnership with UBS. Grants are available to provide organisations with human, financial and strategic support to enhance investment readiness and long terms financial stability, as well as support organisations to pilot new ways to improve social outcomes. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

In partnership with UBS and the Clothworkers’ Foundation, we also offer a follow-on finance facility of loans up to £50,000 for up to 5 years, at rates of 0-4% interest, to grantees of Stepping Stones.
