Our mission

Across the UK, people face daily challenges in housing, access to affordable financial products and services, health and wellbeing, and community resilience. We unite ideas, expertise and capital to create investment solutions for the UK’s social challenges, supporting organisations that deliver both positive social impact and sustainable financial returns. Social impact investment can make a real difference in improving people’s lives, by helping enterprises tackle these challenges at scale. Over the last decade, we have learned what works when ideas, investment and expertise are united.

With other investors alongside, we have helped make over £2.5 billion available to more than 2,000 social enterprises and charities that are tackling a wide range of problems, such as homelessness, mental ill health and childhood obesity.

Overall, the social impact investing market continues to grow, increasing 26% year on year to £6.4 billion at the end of December 2020.
