Connecting and building a social investment ecosystem that benefits everyone.
"The challenges communities face are complex. It takes a range of funders, investors, and support organisations working together to build an investment ecosystem that works for those who need it most.
"This page highlights the key networks we're involved with. They are essential to making social investment work better for charities, social enterprises, and the communities they serve. By building strong networks and partnerships, we can help to share learning, align efforts, and mobilise more funding.
"We either actively participate in these networks, provide funding, or convene them directly."

Local Access is a place-based network that helps six places across England design and deliver their own mix of enterprise support and flexible, patient capital. The aim is to grow the resilience and impact of charities and social enterprises in these communities. In each place, a group of local partners works together to design and manage the programme, making sure it reflects local priorities and knowledge. It’s about creating lasting, locally owned systems of support and finance.
