The SCCS facilitates community-driven economic growth by matching local needs with local providers, ensuring a high success rate for investments and promoting individual and communal well-being. It emphasises a mutualistic, locally-focused approach to enable autonomy, prosperity, and societal change, inspired by Ivan Illich’s conviviality concept, moving away from hyper-individualism towards collaborative empowerment. Local savers / investors will receive superior returns through locally productive investments mixing projects which have social / infrastructure benefits with those whose needs are more economically driven (interest/debt/equity tools)
