INVEST: THRIVE & SURVIVE in the West Midlands

About this event

Join Big Society Capital, Social Investment Business, Key Fund and Social Enterprise UK (SEUK) for a stimulating and informative online session on finance and resilience.

Find out more about social investment and how it can be used to grow your charity or social business. Discover the common challenges to accessing finance - and how they can be overcome.

Hear from SEUK's Emily Darko on the State of Social Enterprise Finance in the West Midlands as we explore:

• Why social enterprises and charities see the cost of finance as being a more significant barrier than other parts of the UK

• Why social enterprises and charities seek double the amount of finance than their counterparts but raise 50% less on average

• How social investment can support the significant demand for development capital in the West Midlands

Learn how social finance can support social enterprise in challenging times and debunk the myths around accessing social investment. Not to be missed.
