We are ambitious to increase our reach and help accelerate the growth of even more charities and social enterprises. Below is information on our most recent investments.
FRC Group
In November 2009 we invested in Liverpool-based social enterprise FRC Group. It works to improve the lives of people living in poverty by offering training opportunities to the long-term unemployed and other disadvantaged people.
FRC Group's model has proven very efffective in engaging and progressing the long-term unemployed back into work.
In addition to its social impact, FRC Group also generates
substantial environmental benefits through its work recyling
furniture and so reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill.

work with FRC Group.

The relationship has helped us raise our game. As a result, our strategy is bolder and our stakeholders are extremely excited about where this process is taking us.
