SIIG: social investment for financial inclusion
*Please note this event will be taking place online, details will be circulated to delegates in advance*
Financial inclusion seeks to ensure all individuals have access to affordable and appropriate financial products and services. This might include affordable credit, access to bank accounts and addressing the 'poverty premium' where those on the lowest incomes pay more for the same utilities and credit than those on higher incomes. Join the Church Commissioners, Carnegie UK Trust, Fair by Design, Fair4All Finance and Virgin Money Foundation for an overview of the key issues, an update on social investment initiatives and a discussion of how foundations can get involved in improving financial inclusion.
The Social Impact Investors Group (SIIG) exists to support Foundations interested in starting or currently undertaking social impact investing. Membership is open to foundations and to organisations with a charitable or social mission with investable assets. Please contact gail@acf.org.uk to find out more.
