Big Society Capital is the UK's leading social impact-led investor, 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. Since 2012, we have helped the social impact investment market grow tenfold to nearly £8bn. This capital has financed social purpose organisations tackling everything from homelessness to mental health and fuel poverty.
Working with expert partners, we seek to understand people’s needs first. Then, using our knowledge and capital, we collaborate and invest with fund managers who also want to create a better, sustainable future.
They, and the social enterprises and charities they invest in, create the impact. Our role is to bring the most relevant experts from our network to the table, generating ideas and connecting capital to where it’s most needed.
