Wolverhampton Voluntary Sector Council Social Investment Survey
Social investment is repayable finance that creates both social and financial returns. It is provided to charities, social enterprises and socially motivated businesses. It is money provided to enable an organisation to generate more income or be more effective: money to grow its business, put in place better systems, do more social good, and it repays the investment in the process. Organisations might need social investment for a variety of reasons as they grow. These include start-up finance, maintenance and asset purchase, and scale-up finance.
WVSC is looking at providing targeted group support to help small to medium sized groups in Wolverhampton to grow through social enterprise business models using social investment. To do this we would like to understand what the need might be, and what kind of support might be helpful.
Could you please therefore complete this survey - it will help us to develop a business case for support. Please complete the survey by no later than 23rd February 2018.
