Big Society Capital
We worked with Big Society Capital to influence government policy on youth employment. This led to the creation of the Life Chances Strategy, and an £80 million fund to help young people who face significant barriers.
We work shoulder-to-shoulder with our charities to make them stronger, delivering better results year after year, to more disadvantaged young people.
We help develop charities’ leadership, impact management and sustainability, using our bespoke framework as a guide.
Charity Outcomes FrameworkImpetus has helped us become a better run, better led and more sustainable charity.
We put the building blocks of impact management in place so that our charities can deliver better results for young people.

We support our charities to grow, so that they are able to help more young people succeed.

This impact report tells the story of our 11-year partnership with IntoUniversity, totalling nearly £4 million worth of investment team hours, pro bono projects and funding. With our help, IntoUniversity are helping more and more disadvantaged young people – who are half as likely to get a university place than their peers – beat the odds.

Charities do good work, but there’s room for improvement. Our Driving Impact paper shares what we’ve learnt from our charities about impact. This is a guide for funders, commissioners and charities to deliver impactful programmes for young people.
