Social investment aims to help high-potential social enterprises and charities to grow and make even more impact. But access to this capital has been unevenly distributed. In the UK, organisations led by minoritised ethnic people are considerably more likely than others to be put off applying for social investment by the time or hassle involved, according to research by Social Enterprise UK; they’re less certain about where to find appropriate finance, and less confident about their capacity to take it on if successful.
Tackling Food Poverty - 3-month pilot initiative launched
BSWN, is pleased to announce the launch of a 3-month pilot initiative aimed at tackling food poverty in Black and Minoritised communities, funded by Quartet Community Foundation. This pilot has been developed in partnership with Jikoni at the Coach House CIC. Both BSWN and Jikoni are situated at the Coach House in St. Paul’s, with existing kitchen facilities in the café for preparation of hot meals for the Food hub project pilot. The prepared hot meals will be delivered through three local Black-led organisations, Bristol Youth Horn Concern, Bristol Black Carers, and St Nicolas of Tolentino RC Church who have already identified carers, refugees and families at risk or experiencing food poverty and will distribute the hot meals based on a need assessment.
