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.
Today we launch our independent review of the two Community Land Trust funds we have managed since 2008 within the CAF Venturesome team. The report explores the increasing role of community led-housing – specifically Community Land Trusts - in tackling the UK’s ongoing crisis.
We now have 12 people in our CAF Venturesome team, all here to support social enterprises and charities to sustain and grow their social impact. We asked everyone this week to reflect on 2018 at CAF Venturesome and give us their highlight.
In 2018 CAF Venturesome made a social investment to help Tapestry to support more vulnerable adults at home and in community day-centres. The investment has also enabled the organisation to continue to train its staff to provide empathetic, person centred service.
We want to share with you the story of our ongoing relationship with Local Food Links; a unique organisation and a community owned social enterprise with a mission to ensure that school children have access to healthy school meals. We feel that this story is worth revisiting to illustrate how we build strong relationships with social organisations and provide them with the affordable finance they need to sustain and grow their social impact.
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.
