The Oversight Trust has launched the second Independent Quadrennial Review of Access – The Foundation for Social Investment and is inviting stakeholders to share their views.
Background
The Oversight Trust is responsible for the oversight of the work of four organisations that receive Dormant Account Funding: Access, Better Society Capital, Fair4All Finance and Youth Futures Foundation. Its role is to ensure they remain true to their respective missions and use their resources effectively.
Part of this oversight involves commissioning an independent review of each organisation every four years with the overall brief of examining their effectiveness on delivering on their goals. This is known as the Quadrennial Review.
Access was last reviewed in 2021 and the final report of the Review Panel can be found here: https://www.oversighttrust.org/publications
2025 Quadrennial Review
The Oversight Trust has set up a panel to carry out the second independent review of Access.
We are inviting stakeholders who are interested in contributing to get in touch with the panel and share their views.
The Review Panel — Keith Leslie, Magdalene Bayim-Adomako, and Lucy Findlay, supported by Fiona Young Priest as Secretariat — will assess Access’s progress and explore opportunities for continued impact. All responses will be treated confidentially and will not be shared with Access.
The panel want to hear from anyone with insights or experiences of working with Access or the wider social investment ecosystem.
Your input will help shape the future of Access and ensure that social investment continues to work for those who need it most.
