Lintel Trust manages the Community Benefit Fund on behalf of SPA. Up to £150,000 per year is distributed across Scotland on behalf of Scottish Procurement Alliance.

The Community Benefit Fund was launched in April 2017 and it was both a new partnership and venture. Both Lintel Trust and SPA are delighted with how successful the Community Benefit Fund has been, the positive impact funded projects have had and the social value added. 

The SPA Community Benefit Fund is accumulated from procurement efficiencies generated by SPA partners from the collaborative procurement of construction and refurbishment works to social housing stock. SPA invests profits into the Community Benefit Fund which is distributed across Scotland.

We carried out social impact reporting on suitable projects using the HACT Social Value Calculator. Between the matchfunding achieved by funded projects, and the Community Benefit Fund donations, we have made a considerable contribution to Scottish society.
