About the Forum
The UK’s leading role in the 2005 UN’s Year of Microcredit gave birth to the UK’s Microfinance Club, renamed as The Financial Inclusion Forum in 2015.
The Financial Inclusion Forum is a UK-based network raising awareness of financial inclusion and sharing best practice.
Our areas of interest range from economic empowerment to microfinance and social impact investment.
The Forum is run by a volunteer board.
WHAT WE DO
The Forum stimulates knowledge sharing, debate and networking through a curated London-based programme focusing on the global inclusive finance sector.
We hold a number of evening events in London on themes including digital finance, consumer protection, smallholder agriculture, gender issues, microinsurance, renewable energy and livelihood development.
Our live events feature influential voices in the inclusive finance sector that encourage our audience to learn, exchange, network and act.
We also hold regular breakfast briefings for industry stakeholders to discuss and share insights on recent developments in financial inclusion.
