Capital Law has advised Chiltern Capital on their investment in Charis Grants
Based in Peterborough, Charis Grants help manage the distribution of financial support, products and services to vulnerable households and community projects on behalf of the private sector, public sector and not-for-profit organisations. Its plug and play support platform, Charis Shop, enables local authorities, housing associations, utility companies and charities to deliver fast and effective help to those who need it most.
The team at Capital Law was led by Gareth Williams-Davies and included Sara Thomas, Athos Economides and Alice Phelps, with cross-team support from our employment, pensions, financial services, property and commercial specialists, who offered their expertise on the transaction. Chris Lewis led the Debt team which included Anukrit Bhargava, Michael Bolous and Rebecca Memon who played a leading role advising on the debt funding.
Gareth Williams-Davies, Partner in the Corporate and Private Equity team at Capital Law, said:
This is the fifth deal that we have completed for Chiltern Capital in a little over 12 months and it was fantastic to get this most recent deal across the line. The team at Chiltern are great to work with and we are looking forward to seeing Charis flourish with the expert support and backing from Chiltern.
Ben Robinson, Director at Chiltern Capital, said:
Charis is a standout provider of connecting and distributing funds and products to households that require them most. We are delighted to be supporting the team as they continue to expand the solutions offered, increasing the social impact and providing more support to those who need it. By investing in people, technology and providing the best possible service, Charis will be able to increase its reach and have a positive impact on people’s lives.
The team at Capital Law provided great support – their commercial approach helped make this as straightforward a process as possible.
