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.
Capital funding for VCSE organisations that are building social connections across and between different communities.
The funding is for organisations that are running activities for people aged 65 to enjoy festive cheer.
Grants are available for craft practitioners, community groups and voluntary organisations to deliver projects that protect endangered crafts and provide opportunities for makers and trainees to develop their skills.
