Thinking about taking on social investment, but not sure your organisation is ready?
The Social Investment Gateway Programme is a free 12-month support programme for charities, social enterprises and community organisations that want to strengthen trading and move nearer to investment readiness.
You’ll get practical support to grow your trading activity, strengthen your organisation and prepare to apply for and manage social investment with confidence. You may also receive a Match Trading™ grant of up to £18,000 or a repayable grant of up to £24,000 to help you invest in your organisation, support your growth and reward trading success.
The programme is led by the School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE), a national charity supporting social leaders and community organisations to grow their impact through learning, funding and support. It is supported by Access – The Foundation for Social Investment.
Grants available for VCSE organisations to bring creative ideas to life across our district, funding creative and heritage projects around three themes: Creative Wellbeing, Creativity and Nature, and New Creative Work.
Grants of £30,000 per year dedicated to supporting charities committed to ending child poverty. These long-term, unrestricted awards give organisations the freedom to act strategically.
Two-year grants of £10,000 (£5,000 per year) for charities tackling key societal issues affecting young people. The awards are unrestricted; they can be used for any purpose that supports your organisation.
