Unlocking Social Investment
Overview
The social enterprise and charity sector is buzzing with financial terms: ‘social investment’ ‘social impact bonds’ and ‘investment readiness’. But what do these terms actually mean, and how can social enterprises and not-for-profits access these new forms of income?
This one-day workshop features a panel of speakers from different areas of social investment and case studies from both investors and investees. We’ll shine a spotlight on specific types of social investment, allowing you to make informed decisions about how to finance your organisation.
“Social investment is the use of repayable finance to help an organisation achieve a social purpose.” Good Finance
