Building the market

Big Society Capital’s overall purpose is to grow the investment ecosystem that supports enterprises to improve people’s lives. We do this both through investing our own capital in ways that bring other investors alongside us, and through wider market building activities. These involve building awareness and understanding of social impact investment among investors of all kinds, as well as among social enterprises and charities that could use repayable finance.

Our approach to market building is through education and partnership, with a long-term goal of building a movement of people and organisations that use social impact investment to improve lives. We continue to work with its partners to further understanding and participation in social impact investment across a wide range of groups.
