Our history
Allia C&C is a financial services firm set up more than 25 years ago and now controlled by the Allia Foundation, a charity set up in 1999 to deliver social impact and to support borrowing by charities. Since 2019, Allia C&C has advised or arranged debt of more than £4bn for a wide range of charities and purpose-driven businesses in sectors well placed to deliver tangible social change.
Our approach
We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) as a financial advisor and broker dealer. We operate from offices in London, Cambridge and Glasgow through three principal divisions – Advice & Funding, Brokerage and Allia Bond Services. This allows us to support clients, borrowers and investors, through every stage of their funding journey.
Our people
Our teams have substantial sector experience and expertise, bridging the gap between finance and the worlds of social housing, care & supported living, education & heritage, real estate, finance and charities & not-for-profits.
Our innovations
Allia C&C is widely regarded for its innovations in building vehicles that break down the barriers to finance for sectors well placed to deliver tangible social change. Our innovative work includes the design of the Scottish Charitable Bond Programme, which allocates public funding to housing associations so they can build new homes and tackle the housing crisis; MORhomes, a vehicle created to be owned by a collective of not-for-profit housing associations so they can raise funds from the bond markets; and RCB Bonds, a pioneering platform designed to breakdown the barriers to the bond market for charities and other impact-led organisations.
Our mission
Our mission is to deliver accessible finance for positive change. We apply our expertise to unleash the potential of capital markets, supporting committed organisations as they deliver meaningful impact throughout society.
Our impact
We are dedicated to supporting our clients to increase and accelerate the impact they deliver, as well as making a direct contribution through the grants and dividends, which fund impact projects.
