What we do

We provide loans, grants and strategic support to charities and social enterprises to help them improve people’s lives. ​

We have helped hundreds of organisations become more resilient and sustainable so that they can grow and increase their impact.

​We were one of the UK’s first social investors and since 2002 have provided over £400 million of loans and grants to charities and social enterprises.
