How can we help you?
Big Lottery Fund’s new £10 million fund is aimed at eligible voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs) to improve their sustainability, capacity and scale and help them deliver greater social impact for communities across England.
Big Potential is administered by the Social Investment Business on behalf of the Big Lottery Fund in partnership with Locality, Social Enterprise UK, Charity Bank and the University of Northampton.
A grant from the fund will help VCSEs, at the very beginning of their social investment journey, to get specialist and tailored support to become investment ready.
VCSE’s who are aspiring to raise social investment up to £500,000 can apply for grants between £20,000 and £75,000 in total to undertake more in-depth investment readiness work with us, as a Big Potential approved provider.
VCSE’s may apply first for a preliminary grant to undertake development work with a provider of their choice; and then apply for another investment plan grant when the VCSE and their provider know that an investment deal is in sight.
At fresh, we bring together the best of business theory, good practice and real-world experience and deliver it in a way that is clear, easy to understand, enjoyable and rewarding.
We are social entrepreneurs who have founded and run social businesses, charities and community groups. Our approach is practical and relevant because we deal with the challenges of investment readiness in our own organisations.
We have a strong track record in business planning, governance, financial planning and social investment with the skills, knowledge and experience to best position you for a successful fundraising programme and a sustainable organisation in the longer term.
