The help you need to make a difference.
Because everyone
needs a little help.
How would you like to give
your organisation a muchwelcome injection of funds
to help with a new building
project or as part of a
shared initiative with another
similar organisation? Now,
with a competitively-priced
loan from Unity Trust Bank
in partnership with WCVA
(Wales Council for Voluntary
Action) you can.
We’re currently accepting applications
from charities and voluntary organisations
for loans ranging from £250,000 to £5m,
giving you the opportunity to invest in
your building infrastructure and cut your
rent, leasing and services costs. It could
even help your cashflow if you are able to
let out unused space. Ultimately, a loan
from us gives you the freedom to redirect
that money toward delivering better
services to the people you support.
A shared vision
Here, at Unity Trust Bank, we understand
the issues faced by voluntary organisations,
especially in times like this. That’s why,
working in partnership with WCVA, we
hope that this loan fund will make it
easier for charitable organisations to work
together to cut costs and share resources.
The new fund has received the
backing of the Welsh Government.
Local Government and Communities
Minister, Carl Sargeant added:
“ Third sector organisations are
responding to the needs of Welsh
communities and delivering essential
public services that are used by
people across Wales every day.
“ I am delighted to see the third sector
finding new ways of financing its
work. The significant finance that
this new initiative will make available
to organisations across Wales
is very welcome.”
Unity loan sees youth media
factory fizzing with energy.
Tom Jones, the Stereophonics, US X Factor host Steve
Jones and many more music and media stars have played
or presented at Wales’s iconic studios - The Pop Factory
– over the last 12 years. Now, the charity Valleys Kids has
bought the venue with a loan from Unity Trust Bank in
partnership with WCVA and is turning it into a bustling
hub for disadvantaged local young people who want to
train in media and music.
The 34-year-old charity has taken out a
25- year loan of £395,000 to consolidate
existing loans and save vital funds. As
well as creating the media training hub at
the legendary factory, the loan will help
develop a residential centre in Wales’
Gower area.
Richard Morgan, Funding Director at
Valleys Kids, says: “The factory is
important because it allows us to provide
excellent, first-hand support to young
people who want careers in the cultural
and media industries. It’s about giving
young people a chance.”

Local Government and
Communities Minister

Case Study
Every year, thousands of young people
keen to develop their skills will come to
the former Corona fizzy drinks factory for
courses and to gain real work experience
with bands, TV producers and others.
“ Alongside our own support for the third sector this fund will not only support its sustainability and
safeguard services, but also boost local economies across Wales.”
Richard continues, “We already banked
with Unity and know that they’re much
easier to deal with than a normal bank,
but we were pleasantly surprised by the
interest rates. This loan saves us about
£12,000 a year and will allow our funds
to stretch even further. Unity works for us
and we would recommend them to other
organisations.”
Building a
brighter future.
Unity Trust Bank is one of
the UK’s leading providers
of banking services to the
charity and voluntary
sector. Our history of
working with some of the
country’s best known
charities and voluntary
organisations has given us
a unique insight into the
needs of charitable
organisations. We understand
who you are, your goals
and your vision and we are
ideally positioned to help
you achieve your aims.
This is why Unity Trust Bank has partnered
with WCVA to design a loan specifically
tailored to the needs of organisations just
like yours. The loan fund has been created
not only to help you achieve your goals
as an organisation but also to motivate
charities to work together to cut costs and
share services, resources and expertise.
After all, in many ways, we all share the
same vision - to help people.
Legal and valuation process
To help streamline the process, we have
teamed up with one of Wales’s leading
professional firms - Harrison Clark
Solicitors who will be able to offer their
services at preferential, fixed fees*. Full
details will be provided upon application.

choice of advisors.**
A loan made for you
The loan fund has been developed
specifically to help you invest in your
building infrastructure. So whether you
want to extend an existing building or
invest in a new build, then this new
initiative could be exactly what you’ve
been waiting for to get your project off the
ground. Our hope is that the fund should
stimulate the creation of syndicates of
charitable organisations working together
in communal business centres.

Y cymorth y mae arnoch ei angen i wneud gwahaniaeth.
Gan fod ar bawb
angen help llaw.
A oes ar eich mudiad chi
angen chwistrelliad o arian
ychwanegol i helpu gyda
phrosiect adeiladu newydd
neu fel rhan o fenter ar y
cyd gyda mudiad tebyg i
chi? Nawr, gyda benthyciad
am bris cystadleuol gan
Unity Trust Bank mewn
partneriaeth â Chyngor
Gweithredu Gwirfoddol
Cymru (WCVA), gallwch
wneud hynny.
Rydym ar hyn o bryd yn cymryd ceisiadau
gan elusennau a mudiadau gwirfoddol am
fenthyciadau’n amrywio o £250,000 i
£5m, gan roi’r cyfle i chi fuddsoddi yn eich
seilwaith adeiladu a thorri’ch costau rhentu,
prydlesu a gwasanaethau. Gallai hyd yn
oed helpu eich llif arian os gallwch roi gofod
nad ydych yn ei ddefnyddio ar osod. Yn y
pen draw, mae benthyciad gennym ni’n
rhoi’r rhyddid i chi ailgyfeirio’r arian hwnnw
at ddarparu gwell wasanaethau i’r bobl
rydych yn eu cefnogi.
Gweledigaeth a rennir
Yma yn Unity Trust Bank, rydym yn deall
y materion y mae mudiadau gwirfoddol
yn eu hwynebu, yn enwedig mewn cyfnod
anodd fel hwn. Dyna pam, drwy gydweithio
â WCVA, y gobeithiwn y bydd y gronfa
fenthyciadau hon yn ei gwneud yn haws
i fudiadau elusennol weithio gyda’i gilydd
i leihau costau a rhannu adnoddau.
Mae’r gronfa newydd wedi cael
cefnogaeth Llywodraeth Cymru.
Ychwanegodd Carl Sargeant, y Gweinidog
Llywodraeth Leol a Chymunedau:
“ Mae mudiadau’r trydydd sector yn
ymateb i anghenion cymunedau Cymru
ac yn darparu gwasanaethau cyhoeddus
hanfodol sy’n cael eu defnyddio gan
bobl ledled Cymru bob dydd.
“ Mae’n bleser gennyf weld y trydydd
sector yn dod o hyd i ffyrdd newydd o
ariannu ei waith. Mae’r arian sylweddol
y bydd y cynllun newydd hwn yn ei
ddarparu i fudiadau ledled Cymru
yn dderbyniol iawn.”
Benthyciad Unity yn arwain at
fwrlwm mewn canolfan i bobl ifanc.
Mae Tom Jones, Stereophonics, cyflwynydd US X Factor
Steve Jones a llawer o sêr eraill y byd pop a’r cyfryngau wedi
chwarae neu gyflwyno yn stiwdios enwog Cymru - The Pop
Factory – dros y 12 mlynedd diwethaf. Bellach, mae’r elusen
Plant y Cymoedd wedi prynu’r lleoliad gyda benthyciad gan
Unity Trust Bank mewn partneriaeth â WCVA ac mae’n ei
droi’n ganolfan fywiog ar gyfer pobl ifanc ddifreintiedig leol
sydd am gael hyfforddiant yn y cyfryngau a cherddoriaeth.
Mae’r elusen, sydd wedi bod ar waith am
34 o flynyddoedd, wedi benthyg £395,000
dros 25 mlynedd i gyfuno benthyciadau
eraill ac arbed arian gwerthfawr. Yn ogystal
â chreu’r ganolfan hyfforddi yn y cyfryngau,
fe fydd y benthyciad yn cynorthwyo
datblygu canolfan breswyl yn ardal y Gŵyr.
Dywedodd Richard Morgan, Cyfarwyddwr
Cyllid Plant y Cymoedd: “Mae’r ffatri’n
bwysig gan ei bod yn ein galluogi i
ddarparu cymorth rhagorol, uniongyrchol
i bobl ifanc sydd â’u golygon ar yrfa yn
y cyfryngau. Mae’n golygu y gallwn
roi siawns i bobl ifanc.”

synnu ar yr ochr orau gan y cyfraddau llog.
