GLAS is proud to work as Facility Agent and Security Agent on the £21.5m round of funding raised by Social Investment Business (SIB) for the Recovery Loan Fund. Managed by SIB, the Recovery Loan Fund helps charities and social enterprises who have been impacted by Covid-19 access the capital they need to help them recover, adapt and grow.
