Reach Fund Support

By combining our wide-ranging sector experience with our Reach Fund support expertise, we help organisations to become investment ready and provide Boards and potential investors with the information they need to make an informed investment decision.
We provide support in areas including business planning, financial forecasting, governance and management reviews, and demonstrating social impact.

Governance review – we can help you to review your governance arrangements and test these against best practice in the voluntary sector so that you can become more effective.

Financial modelling – producing robust financial models that give you and your funders the assurance needed to move a project forward.

Business planning and strategy development – we can help you define strategic goals for your organisation’s future direction and examine the resources required to achieve those goals.

Demonstrating social impact – helping you to communicate the outcomes that you deliver in a way that satisfies funders and informs future strategy.

The Reach Fund is a grant programme that helps charities and social enterprises raise investment. The programme is funded by Access – The Foundation for Social Investment and is open to organisations in England.

Social investors are often approached by charities and social enterprises who require extra, final stage support to raise investment.

Through this programme, social investors can refer these organisations to the Reach Fund to apply for grants to pay for the support they need. Over £6m of grants have been awarded to date, and a further £4m funding will be available.
