We are Access - The Foundation for Social Investment. Together with our partners, we ensure charities and social enterprises can access the finance they need to sustain or grow their impact. We want to make it easier for organisations operating in the heart of our communities to expand their services, take on new staff, renovate or upgrade their buildings or start generating an income that will put them on a more sustainable footing. We support charities and social enterprises in underserved places and communities by: - Combining grants with loans to provide patient, flexible and affordable finance - Increasing resilience and diversifying income streams through enterprise activity.
