Social Business Impact Programme

Neil Heslop OBE, Chief Executive at the Charities Aid Foundation said:

“Social businesses help tackle social problems, improve communities and individual lives, and positively impact the environment.

“In our 20^th year of championing social investment, we’re excited to launch this programme specifically for social businesses run by women of colour, working with Hatch Enterprise and with the support of JPMorgan Chase. We know that minority-led businesses have historically struggled to access funding required to grow, so we’re looking forward to meeting a whole host of promising businesses and their leaders, and helping to increase their social impact.”
