*Businesses and social investment
Many banks, businesses and other organisations set aside funds to support social investment and benefit local communities. These can be in the form of loans, grants or match funding.
Social Investment Funds are often set up to deliver specific social change. For example they can aim to make life better for people living in targeted areas of deprivation by increasing employment opportunities, tackling issues such as mental and physical health, or improving the environment.
Other responsible businesses will often make local community development funds available as part of their ethical approach to doing business in an area. Smaller local businesses can often be approached directly for support.
