The gift vouchers you give over the Christmas period are so important to growing the impact of Lendwithcare. Every gift voucher given means a new lender joining to support low-income entrepreneurs with the funding they need to invest in their businesses and improve their lives.
On 1st December 2021, we launched our first Christmas Bonus campaign. This made bonus loans worth £15 available to over 1,300 lenders with a bonus pot of £20,000.
In December 2024, we're bringing back our Christmas Bonus campaign, this time with a bonus pot of £10,000. In December, we will again be offering a bonus loan worth £15 for gift voucher purchases of £50 and above. You will only be able to claim a maximum of one bonus loan through the campaign, making a little over 660 bonus loans available. The campaign is scheduled to run until 5pm on 24th December or when the £10,000 pot is empty.
During the campaign period, you'll see a notification in your basket if your gift voucher purchase qualifies for a bonus loan. This could be one gift voucher at a minimum of £50 or multiple gift vouchers totalling a minimum of £50. All you'll need to do to receive your bonus loan is complete your purchase. Your bonus loan will then be automatically added to your Lendwithcare account and you will receive a separate confirmation email. Please note that you will have six months to use your bonus loan and all repayments will be retained by Lendwithcare as donations. Bonus loan credit does not have a cash value and can't be withdrawn, nor can it be used for purposes other than lending.
We're proud to introduce a new way to support low-income families most at risk of climate change through Lendwithcare. Find out more about making a grant today.
