Investor fills gap in social investment market , says review

Access – The Foundation for Social Investment  has been successful in filling a gap in the social investment market according to an independent four-yearly review. The review highlights Access’ success in building and sustaining the social investment market, strengthening intermediaries, developing place-based approaches, and improving the resilience of community organisations.

Looking ahead, the review sets out three key challenges for the social investor:

·         mobilising additional capital beyond dormant assets

·         and managing the risks of leadership and governance as it takes on an expanded, sector-shaping role
