IMPROVING SECTOR DIVERSITY AMONG SOCIAL INVESTORS IN THE UK

The Diversity Forum is a collective on a mission to drive inclusive social investment in the UK, through the convening of sector-wide groups, commissioning research, and knowledge sharing. 

Thanks to the Connect Fund, a £3 million fund managed by the Barrow Cadbury Trust in partnership with Access – the Foundation for Social Investment, the Diversity Forum has funding to embark on projects with five strands:

  • Leadership and convening

  • Research: commissioning research

  • Skills Development and resource sharing

  • Data sharing and networks mapping

  • Communications.

Diversity crosses ideological boundaries. From the pure competition of the free market, selecting other than on grounds of the best person to do the job, is not efficient. From an equal rights perspective, how can we deliver social change if we look like part of the problem?
— Danyal Sattar, CEO Big Issue Invest
