Golden Lane Housing, part of the charity Mencap, yesterday launched a charity bond in partnership with Triodos Bank which will raise money to buy homes for people with a learning disability.
Good points
Investors with a minimum £2,000 will get a fixed gross yield of 4 per cent a year for five years.
Bad points
You have to be prepared to lock your cash away for five years.
Conclusion
The charity hopes to raise £10m through the bond from investors who want to use their savings to give 250 people with a learning disability the chance to live independently in specially adapted homes. The closing date to invest is 30 April. Details at www.glh.org.uk/bond-offer
