Impact
GCI will deploy £10 million over ten years through impact investments into organisations that improve life chances for highly disadvantaged groups, while generating sustainable long-term revenue:
01
Enabling prevention
Many effective organisations working with vulnerable groups struggle to access conventional finance because their outcomes are long-term, their revenue models are complex, and their initial scale is small.
Patient capital allows them to build capability, scale, and stability - and helps shift resources upstream where they deliver greater impact.
02
Unlocking innovation
Patient capital supports new models that achieve better outcomes and reduce future demand on statutory services.
This strengthens the evidence for reform.
03
Creating a platform for replication and scale
By proving preventative models can deliver outcomes and financial sustainability, GCI creates a foundation for replication – in our community, and beyond.
What is social impact investment?
Social impact investment is a pioneering solution for our times, allowing investors to blend social impact and values with financial returns.
It finances long-term outcomes, which makes it an important response to the social challenges that can feel hardest to tackle.
In other words, it's a win-win.
