Helping charities and
social enterprises
survive and thrive
We want to see a social investment ecosystem that works for all charities and social enterprises.
We are Access – The Foundation for Social Investment.
Through our programmes and our advocacy work, we ensure that charities and social enterprises can access the finance they need to sustain or grow their impact.
We target those most in need of patient and flexible investment through:
Funding enterprise development and blended finance programmes in England.
Sharing knowledge and data and translating it into practical insight that others can use.
Mobilising others who share our goal of making capital work for communities.
