New online social investment tool

NCVO and CAF Venturesome have launched Social Investment Made Simple, a free online resource on social investment and the different financial models available to charities. The tool defines the different forms of social investment and aims to help VCS organisations understand what could work for them. It showcases examples of charities of varying sizes that have used social investment to successfully grow their organisation and signposts users to further sources of support. The tool was developed in response to feedback that there is a lack of clear and honest advice available to help organisations make informed decisions about what is right for them.
