Heading 1

To be eligible for support, organisations must be legally registered in the UK as a company or charity, and they can operate under any legal structure. Eligible ventures must have already demonstrated proof of concept by generating trading revenue and are looking to significantly increase both their trading income and social impact. They should be open to receiving funding as a repayable investment. The focus of the organisation must be on tackling inequity for marginalised groups in the UK, particularly addressing issues like socio-economic disadvantage, racism, gender and LGBTQIA+ discrimination, place-based deprivation, and disability discrimination. The support prioritises organisations that directly address these issues through their products, services, training, or employment. Investment is primarily offered in sectors such as consumer business, education, employment, health and social care. For equity and RPA investments, at least 75% board representation and 50% senior leadership representation from diverse groups is required, while debt investments require a demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
