How has pension funds' appetite for #ESG & #impactinvesting changed over the last seven years? In this podcast, Daniel Brewer chats to Karen Shackleton, of #PensionsforPurpose, about her relationship with @resonanceltd and what the future holds. ow.ly/RGY850M9lpl
Thanks Dan, we appreciate your support!

This report is full of fascinating insights, well worth a read especially if you are involved with a local authority pension fund. Looking forward to the launch event later this afternoon. (pensionsforpurpose.com/knowl… to register for that).

This blog by Founder @kshackleton1 is part of a weekly series from the Pensions for Purpose team. This week, she reflects on her own experiences in the City over four decades, and why #diversity in business matters still needs to be prioritised.

So pleased to see @resonanceltd being recognised by the @MayorofLondon as one of the leaders in social #impactinvesting.
#homelessness #housingcrisis
Resonance has been awarded a £5m investment by the @MayorofLondon Sadiq Khan, to deliver housing for #homeless Londoners from Spring 2021. Working in partnership with social justice charity @Nacro, @resonanceltd will deliver 50 homes across London.

Together, we’re urging Government to act now to extend SITR so it remains a valuable tool for unlocking much-needed capital for #SocEnt #Charity.
Unless action is taken, capital already committed to investing into these organisations will be put at risk. bit.ly/2XqQjj0
A great podcast with @sichis of @resonanceltd !
Check out this @MoneyMarketsPod podcast where Simon Chisholm explains how @resonanceltd connects investment with #socialenterprise across the UK & how #SITR is used to invest for impact. @AJBellYouinvest bit.ly/3dICp11

Amongst the uncertainty of the last few weeks we’re pleased to announce the 5th close of the #WestMidlands #SITR Fund. £250,000 has been added to the Fund, enabling us to support more #socialenterprises that are tackling poverty, inequality or disadvantage bit.ly/WM_5Close
