Our Impact

Foreword

"Our purpose has always been to connect charities and social enterprises to the finance and support they need to thrive.

We do this not simply to fill a gap in the funding landscape, but because we believe in the vital role of community-based organisations — in building stronger local economies and supporting community-led solutions to deep-rooted social challenges.

As we look ahead to the next phase of our work, that purpose remains the same — even as the way we work evolves.

We continue to focus our energy and resources on three core missions:

Enabling the flow of appropriate finance and support to community-based charities and social enterprises
Strengthening the resilience of the organisations that provide that finance
Nurturing a social investment market that truly works for all charities and social enterprises - so so they can sustain and scale their impact

At a time of continued economic pressure and rising social need, this work takes on renewed urgency.

But we’re not doing it alone. This report reflects the strength of our partnerships — and we’re excited to keep building momentum with others who share our goals for a more inclusive and effective social investment market."
