With property prices falling, shares tumbling in price and banks cutting their interest rates for savings, many investors are looking for alternatives for investing their money.

The REDAID LTC Programme is not about donations, or risky investments. It’s about REAL RETURNS from safe and secure lending. REDAID LTC provides a return of 10% on investments.

The following are testimonials from philanthropers who have lent money to REDAID recently through the LTC programme.

“I always want to help charities by donating money, but don’t feel too happy about the fact that I can’t help much – because I don’t want to give large chunks of my money away at the moment. But, by lending money to REDAID and knowing that I will get that money back to make it do some more good again, and again – I have the best of both worlds. I can give a large amount – I lent £10,000 for 12 months – to help a lot more people and I know that I am going to see that money again. I opted not to take a return – I felt that my actual donation was the interest I would have made from my money over 1 year. The REDAID scheme is a brilliant one and I know that my money is safe with them because they are a registered charity”

Jeremy Stewart – Architect, Brentwood, Essex

“Savings rates are so low these days that I was looking for something that paid higher, but had a social side to it. I also wanted some degree of certainty that my money would be safe. Although REDAID is not a bank, its LTC programme is just what I was looking for. I lent REDAID £5,000 for 2 years and chose to get 10% per annum. I think the higher rate of return compensates for the fact that REDAID is not a bank – but the fact that REDAID is an established charity gives that degree of capital security that of course everybody wants”

Michael Pennington – Management Consultant, Edinburgh

“REDAID is not a financial company and it’s certainly not a bank. It doesn’t make money from money and it does not get involved in speculative investments or other stuff that has caused the financial mess this world is in. What it does is plain and simple. It borrows money from people like me and uses it to help people who are less fortunate than most of us. It then gets money from donors and income from social ventures like micro-business it sets up for poor people in developing countries and from that, it pays back the loans. I have been lending money to REDAID for the past 2 years and so far, I have lent a total of £50,000. I have always got my money back when it was due and have always got the agreed return whenever I opted for that (which I do these days). I have many friends, colleagues and clients, who use REDAID to make a good return from their money and at the same time, feel good about it because they are helping poor people as well as themselves. I can’t see a better way of helping needy people”

Rupert Bowen – Director, Swift Financials, London

“We are a group of people who use REDAID as an alternative investment class. We have lent it a total of £160,000 over the last 2 years and have always chosen to get the highest rate of return they were offering at whatever time we lent it money. We see several benefits in this. 1) we use the loans to our tax advantage (a good accountant can do this), 2) we feel good about what we are doing because our money is helping a lot of poor people and 3) we are getting a better return than most of the people we know who have placed their money in equity, with banks and many other types of investments. The only difference is that our money is not secured like the money in a bank – but we know that our money is being looked after by a respected registered charity which answers to the Charity Commission for everything they do and we can also see the projects our money is used in and follow its progress on a regular basis – which you can’t do with a bank. Also, placing money with REDAID is much better than an equity investment in the FTSE 100 at present – so in our eyes, this makes REDAID a much better bet then most banks and investment options”
