There is a whiteboard on a stand beside a window with light curtains, and some papers and notebooks are on the table.

The UK faces complex, interconnected public challenges that government alone cannot solve, including economic inactivity, NHS pressures, deep inequalities, and the climate transition.

The Impact Economy Collaborative is already investing in and delivering effective solutions to these issues.

By working in partnership, we can bridge the gap between capital, capacity, and government priorities to deliver impact at a greater pace and scale.

What is the Impact Economy

Organisations supporting an economy that drives inclusive growth and tackles social and environmental challenges.

The UK's impact economy brings together philanthropy, impact investors, foundations, charities, and purpose-driven businesses - from social enterprises to responsible corporates — to drive inclusive growth and tackle social and environmental challenges.

Four Key Characteristics 

Sustainable:
The impact economy drives sustainable, resilient, practice, meeting the needs of the present, without compromising on the ability of future generations to meet their own.

Innovative:
The Impact Economy is an engine for innovation, offering new financial and enterprise solutions to existing problems, which can be made scalable by leveraging government funding. 

Holistic:
The impact economy leverages the wider economy, including commercially-minded investors, to generate positive social, fiscal and environmental impact, supporting every community.

Catalytic:
The impact economy is already here. It is an opportunity for the Government to drive growth, maximise impact and deliver on its priorities at a greater pace and scale.
