Bridges Social Outcomes Funds

The challenge

Public services play a key role in tackling major social issues in the UK, including homelessness, health, education, employment, and children’s services. However, while the government is good at delivering services at scale, they often struggle to meet the needs of people with complex challenges that cut across service delivery siloes. This results in the individual’s problems persisting or worsening, leaving public services to firefight rather than prevent crises.

Our approach

We invest in Social Outcomes Partnerships funds that provide the upfront working capital needed by social enterprises and charities to deliver outcomes-based contracts. To-date, over 80 outcomes-based projects commissioned by the UK government have been funded by these specialist funds.
