We create and manage a range of social impact investment funds, which invest in high impact social enterprises.
Currently we have over £210m under management and growing, across twelve operational funds, which focus on tackling major societal issues, with particular expertise in homelessness, poverty, community-led projects, health & wellbeing and education.
In addition to our investment funds, we also have frequent opportunities to invest directly into high impact social enterprises - also generating a risk-adjusted return.
