Call for Evidence: Independent Review of Better Society Capital
The Oversight Trust, which governs companies funded through the allocation of Dormant Assets, is commissioning an independent review to assess our progress towards increasing the amount of capital dedicated to tackling social issues.
We are inviting stakeholders who are interested in contributing to get in touch with the panel and share their views.
Growing the social impact investment market
Our mission is to grow the amount of money invested in tackling social issues and inequalities in the UK. We do this by investing ourselves and enabling others to invest for impact too.
Our impact
Since 2011, we have helped the social impact investment market grow eleven-fold to over £9bn. This capital has financed social purpose organisations tackling everything from homelessness to mental health and fuel poverty.
