The Chancellor’s inclusion of social impact investment in the 2024 budget, is a hugely significant one. We welcome further collaboration between socially motivated investors, the voluntary sector and Government to tackle complex social problems. We estimated the size of the social impact investment market to be £10 billon at the end of 2023, demonstrating the potential of impact-aligned capital in building a better society.
