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.
In November 2011 Impetus invested in three social ventures as part of our Impetus - Sutton Early Years Initiative. These organisations are:
Family Links
Family Links works to improve emotional well-being and
parent/child relationships through its Nurturing Programme. The
programme provides simple, effective tools to help adults and
children understand and manage feelings and behaviour. It is also
an effective vehicle for change in vulnerable families.

I CAN
I CAN, through its Early Talk programme, provides effective early
intervention for children with speech and language difficulties.
Helping children to improve their communication at an early age
unlocks their potential to acquire the skills and knowledge that
will help them to achieve more later in life.

Ripplez
Ripplez offers an intensive and structured home visiting programme
for first-time teenage mothers from economically disadvantaged
backgrounds, which has proven to improve the children's long-term
health development, their future school readiness and the parents'
economic self-sufficiency.

"We value the thorough due diligence and regular monitoring of charities that Impetus undertakes and feel confident the portfolio charities will develop significantly as a result of their engagement with Impetus."
