“We strive to create lasting social impact in every community on the island. It’s the driving force behind everything that we do. This is evident in our work in 2022, a year which saw Community Finance Ireland make 135 loans available to communities of all shapes and sizes across the island of Ireland to the value
of €8.5m.”
