The Fund provides social enterprises and charities with the up-front investment they need to deliver payment-by-results contracts, where income is dependent on delivering social outcomes set by a commissioner. Returns are linked to successfully achieving these outcomes.

Early intervention services target some of the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach communities in the UK, preventing problems from escalating and creating long term savings across a range of public services.
