The challenge

Social enterprises and charities across the UK often struggle to access traditional forms of finance to support their growth.

Our approach

Through this investment, we aim to provide appropriate and flexible finance for social enterprises and charities, enabling them to expand their operations and impact.

The Fund

The fund invests between £250k and £3m into organisations that are focused on improving the economic and social wellbeing of people, particularly those who are vulnerable and disadvantaged.
