A balanced, unbiased one-day workshop designed to make sense of social finance and social investment.

Good social impact evidence can help social enterprises and charities to improve their services, compare achievements with similar organisations and communicate the difference they are making to be able to attract investment. 

Are you a community or local organisation looking for different sources of funding, including repayable finance? 

Are you looking to raise investment using Social Investment Tax Relief?

This event is for charities and social enterprises who are interested in learning more about Social Impact Bonds and Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR). It’s been designed for those currently working on or looking to explore service delivery through a Social Impact Bond model. Those attending will also learn about how SITR, which is a tax break for investors, can be applied to investment in Social Impact Bonds.
