Expert insight into social investment and social impact by the CAF Venturesome team.
We use our experience to have a critical look at the sector. This blog features our views, opinion and news on CAF Venturesome’s activity and on the Social Investment sector as a whole. Keep up to date with us as we help charities and social enterprises thrive.
On our travels over autumn, CAF Venturesome attended a debate exploring the pros and cons attached to the traditional charity model. We then came back and pondered our own experiences.
Hadley has recently joined the CAF Venturesome team to manage a portfolio of social investments in our Development Fund, leading on social investment for international development.
An unsecured loan of £400,000 from CAF Venturesome is helping to fund the construction of a state-of the-art primary school for children living in townships in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
We are looking afresh at whether our loan products are as useful as they can be - in particular how we can support social organisations for whom short-term debt may not be the best fit for their needs.
We are very excited that we have been shortlisted for the UK Social Enterprise Awards, Social Investment Deal of the Year for our social investment deal with Furniture Resource Centre (FRC Group).
We provide affordable financial support to charities, and social enterprise funding, when other lenders may be unable to help.
In this webinar we give you practical advice and guidance on how to utilise social investment.
An introduction to our team, who have a wealth of expertise in helping charities access social investment.
