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.
If you are a charity or social enterprise, or are new to the world of social investment, please visit Good Finance for introductory information, guidance and a directory of social investors.
