A guest blog from our friend and former colleague, Amir Rizwan, who wrote his social investment predictions for 2018 a year ago. This post looks back at his predictions to see where we got to as a sector.
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 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.
