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
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
