Today, we're pleased to share some exciting news: Ethex and Triodos Bank UK are working together to bring all future Triodos crowdfunding investment offers onto the Ethex platform.

This partnership brings together two of the UK's most trusted names in impact investing to give ethically minded investors the widest range of direct, impactful UK crowdfunding opportunities in one place, through one account.

Between us, we've helped more than 300 impactful projects raise over £330 million for people and planet, from community energy and social housing to ethical food and environmental initiatives.

To be clear, this isn't a merger. Both organisations remain fully independent and continue to source their own offers, with Triodos crowdfunding investments clearly badged and sitting alongside Ethex's own at Ethex.org.uk.

This is a positive moment of change for direct impact investing in the UK. We're proud to be building something bigger, and that our community is a part of it.

We're holding a joint webinar with Triodos on Thursday 20 August, 12:30 pm to hear from both teams and ask your questions live.

Have you seen what Ethex investors have achieved?

Nearly one million tonnes of CO₂ were avoided, and £135 million invested by a community of 29,000 people who chose to make their money matter.

We're incredibly proud, but this isn't a moment to stop and reflect for long. There is a lot more work to do, and we're more determined than ever to do it.

Our new Impact Review 2024/25 also sets out the Ethex Theory of Change: what we want to achieve, how we'll get there, and why it matters more than ever.

Thank you to everyone who has played a part; this impact belongs to you.

We're delighted to see the latest SALAD bond offer pass 50% of its target raise. Every pound invested will be used for future lending to people whose credit scores mean they can't access traditional finance routes, even though they are able and willing to repay.

In our latest blog, we look at the link between financial wellbeing and mental well-being and how the innovative scoring process that Salad uses means more people are spared the stress and worry that spiralling debt can cause. You can read it here: https://www.ethex.org.uk/invest/salad-v

The Salad bond offer targets an 8% return for investors and is eligible to be held within an IFISA. To find out more and invest, visit our website.

Award-winning recognition for SALAD!

Salad has been named Alternative Lender of the Year (under £5k) at the Credit Awards, on top of receiving the King's Award for Enterprise for Innovation earlier this year.

It's wider recognition of what Salad does so well: providing fair, affordable lending to workers who are locked out of mainstream finance, using Open Banking rather than credit scores to see the full picture.

Hear from CEO Craig Pennington on how and why Salad does what it does in these clips from our recent Cuppa Club.

Salad's latest 8% IFISA bond offer is open for investment now; visit the Ethex platform to learn more and invest.

Sometimes it's good to celebrate the successes. And the Low Carbon Hub share offer that closed this week on Ethex was a big success, raising just shy of £1 million for their community-owned solar battery project at Ray Valley Solar Park.

The work is just really beginning for them, but for now, we want to say a massive well done to their team and a thank you to all the investors backing this UK-first!

We are into the final day of the ICOF Community Capital (ICC) share offer, so this is the last chance to take advantage of an investment that offers Community Investment Tax Relief, a rarely used but powerful tax incentive that can offer you 25% of your investment as income tax reduction over 5 years. If you're unsure about how it works, watch our short video .

We're pleased that more than 100 investors have invested almost £400,000 to date, and that money will go straight into a revolving loan fund to help vital community businesses and co-operatives who find it hard to access the funding they need through traditional sources.

ICC has provided catalytic support for local enterprise, social infrastructure, and community wellbeing since 1994, and this is the final day that you can invest to support them to do more for communities in the years to come. Watch the short animation on CITR and visit our website to view the offer.

There is one week left of the Co-operative and Community Finance share offer.

It's over 70% to target, but we want to get to 100%.

Why? Every pound invested will be used to provide much-needed lending to vital community businesses and co-operatives throughout the UK. Without this finance, many may not survive.

Also, you can claim a 25% income tax relief on your investment over 5 years through CITR, as well as targeting a 3% return, making this a very attractive investment opportunity.

If you want to hear the details, brilliantly explained, listen to this GoodStock.Live podcast episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Xk5CE90GV0A3Okeh5Dc4e

If you support co-operatives and community business, please consider investing in this impactful revolving fund. Visit the Ethex website to invest

When the news feels relentless, we think it's good to celebrate hope and positive action!

Low Carbon Hub 's share offer has passed £850,000 invested, with just 4 days left to run. Seeing so many people actively choose to back something positive and community-focused is cause for hope.

Can you help them reach their maximum target of £1 million? Every pound invested goes towards installing the UK's first community-owned solar battery, storing clean solar energy, reducing waste, maximising what's already being generated, and putting the benefits back into communities.

There's still time to be part of it. This is your chance to invest in something that really matters.
