Making a difference

We think the best way to find out about our work is to hear directly from the people and communities we have invested in. Making a difference showcases the diverse range of projects and people we work with across England. 

We invest for social as well as financial return and to increase the scale, impact and delivery of charities, community groups and social enterprises. At a time of inevitable public spending cuts social investment is an effective way of delivering more for less and meeting social and policy challenges.

The following films show how our investments are making a difference:

South Holland Radio film
Burton Street Foundation film
Sheffield Well-Being Consortium film

We will be adding new films so check back on this page, bookmark our YouTube channel or sign up for our newsletter below so you don’t miss the next instalment.
