COVID-19: Information for social investors

At a time of uncertainty for all our partners, investees, and fund managers, this page will be regularly updated with how Big Society Capital and the wider social investment sector is responding to the current coronavirus pandemic.

While these are challenging times, our shared principles remain constant: to support as best we can the sustainability of the organisations we are invested in and the vital services they provide.

Adapting

In these challenging circumstances, we know there will need to be some financial flexibility to enable fund managers to provide support to social enterprises and charities in their portfolios and provide much-needed liquidity to organisations who need it.

Further to financial adjustments, we are hearing incredible stories of how organisations across our portfolio are adapting to the crisis.
