Helping charities and
social enterprises
survive and thrive
We are Access – The Foundation for Social Investment. We work to make charities and social enterprises in England more financially resilient and self-reliant, so that they can sustain or increase their impact.
We do this through supporting the development of enterprise activity to grow and diversify income, and improving access to the social investment which can help stimulate that enterprise activity.
COVID-19 update: We recognise that this is an extremely challenging time for charities and social enterprises, and we are working closely with our partners to monitor and where appropriate adapt our programmes in response to the crisis. If you are a charity or social enterprise that requires support during these times, please visit the Good Finance COVID-19 Resource Hub for an extensive collection of information, resources and tools.
