Impact report 2023
Our latest impact report highlights the progress we're making on our mission to grow the UK’s social impact investing market and respond to pressing societal issues.
We share what we are learning at two levels of impact - helping build the social impact investing market, and creating positive impact in people’s lives in the UK.
Growing the social impact investment market
Our mission is to grow the amount of money invested in tackling social issues and inequalities in the UK. We do this by investing ourselves and enabling others to invest for impact too.
Our impact
Since 2011, we have helped the social impact investment market grow eleven-fold to over £9bn. This capital has financed social purpose organisations tackling everything from homelessness to mental health and fuel poverty.
