Not seen a lot of coverage in the sector press on this, but just know ⁦@Hargraver⁩ would have had an angle! 👇🏻 Naomi Campbell banned from being charity trustee

'Halifax isn’t necessarily the most affluent area, and on paper this should just not work. But that’s why economists don’t organise live music events.' Could have been a car park. Thankfully it isn't @ThePieceHall.

@KeyFund And a case study of @TheFlorrie also features!

Working with partners @KeyFund @TheSocialInvest & @resonanceltd we’ve been working on delivering the £300m fund improving local youth facilities across the country

There is a section on the Youth Investment Fund Key Fund are proud to have allocated over £50m across 90 sites, predominantly in the North West, Yorkshire, and the Humber

The ⁦@KeyFund⁩ 2023 / 2024 Impact report is here - stats and figures behind Key Fund’s investments, as well as the people making a difference in their communities #socinv

…. The evidence in this investigation meant that the level of misconduct and/or mismanagement was serious enough to warrant this action.”

The Charity Commission statement; “As a fair, independent and evidence-led regulator, we only disqualify someone from serving as a trustee or a senior manager in a charity when the evidence gathered means it is proportionate and lawful to do so…..

Captain Tom’s daughter and her husband banned from being charity trustees

Guardian reporting that Captain Tom's daughter has been banned from being a charity trustee. Good moment to re-up this 3.5 years ago. It was trade press, as so often, which ignored the fawning and saw the failures. https://t.co/QZwoNyUetz

Q: Captain Tom Foundation: Why is there no decision on charity? A: quite normal for complex or high-profile statutory inquiries to take longer than 2 years

(Noted it’s not a direct comparison with direct, retail investment in charities and social enterprises, and why I’d still like to see a successor to SITR, one of the few policy interventions we’ve seen that was solely for the social economy in the past decade)

@DevlinGed

See also @nicktemple1 ‘s take here 👇🏻 I think it’s a great point on how @TheSocialInvest (and others) have used existing schemes to get cash to social enterprises, such as the government's guarantee scheme

If the sector is going to see socially motivated, retail investment going into social enterprises to the tune of the £500m figure over 5 years, it probably won’t look like the similar sort of investment people put into the more corporate schemes

I think predicting it would be “worth £500m over 5 years” - which were some of the numbers thrown around was always a lot. Performing as it does (£5m p/a to 40 orgs) means it’s not too dissimilar to what many CDFIs do

Some pretty giddy predictions at the introduction of this relief - and maybe these would have been met if the relief wasn’t so restrictive for social enterprises that could have made use of it - See in particular 1.) Community Energy 2.) Community Assets

Wonder if many in the Community Shares space just started to use [the less rigid?] EIS / SEIS schemes ? Anyone know @ComShares ? Is there any data on who used which tax reliefs on share issues?

The Advanced Assurance applications tailed off hugely from ‘16 / ‘17
