Access - The Foundation for Social Investment

Who we are

Our mission is to make sure charities and social enterprises can access the finance they need to sustain or grow their impact.

Access wants to see an investment eco-system that works for all charities and social enterprises. This means harnessing all of the diverse talent seeking to deliver impact in communities. It requires an investment ecosystem which is able to deliver equitable outcomes for communities impacted by injustice and inequality and the charities and social enterprises that support them.

This work is fundamentally about shifting imbalances in power, perspectives and opportunities and building a culture of equal recognition and belonging by actively inviting the contribution and participation of everyone we work with.

Our culture and values

We’re a small part of a much bigger team – we drive change across the social investment market by empowering our partners and working together as equals. 

We are curious, open and honest – sharing our knowledge and tackling tough questions.

We focus on building resilience and creating lasting change, not just quick fixes.
