Our ambition

Across the UK, millions of people face barriers to housing, employment, healthcare and a greener future. Not every problem is ready for investment— but where the conditions are right, capital can drive large-scale change and deliver sustainable returns. Our expertise, market insight and track record give us a distinctive view of where this opportunity is strongest.

We believe that in these four areas: Housing, Economic Opportunity, Climate and Energy, and Health there is both significant need alongside proven business models that align with long-term national priorities. These are the places where social challenges and investment opportunity meet. Here, capital can drive large-scale change and deliver value for investors.

Since 2011, we have acted as the trusted bridge between social need, policy and investment opportunity, helping to grow the social impact investment market by 13 times to more than £11 billion. We don’t just deploy capital ourselves; we build markets – by unlocking opportunities for others, removing barriers, building the partnerships, structures, and expertise they need to invest with confidence.

Our ambition to improve 15-20 million lives by mobilising £20–30 billion into investible solutions addressing the UK’s most pressing social challenges is bold. But with our expertise and the strength of our partnerships, it is entirely in reach. By bringing together capital, government, and social purpose enterprises, we are uniquely positioned to deliver positive outcomes for society and investors.
