    Hi everyone,

    I was fortunate to meet and chat with Denise Holle from JRF Joseph Rowntree Foundation as I welcomed her as a new member to our community! What an inspiring conversation. JRF is focused on social investing and their work is truly great. 

    Check out Denise's post on LinkedIn sharing more about their work, as well as this page where there are 6 social investments case studies and so much more.

    Dear all,

    We've ran our webinar on Social Investing this week and it was full of great insights. Thank you so much to our speaker and member Denise Holle from Joseph Rowntree Foundation. Denise shared lots of insights on how to do social invesments and measure the impact. We also heard from Iulia Tudor from Ascention (Fair by Design Fund) and Sebastian Rocca (Micro Rainbow) on their progress on social investments and measurements.

    Thank you to the great host and champion @Hamish Wilson!

    Here's the link to the recording

    Thank you for having me and for listening about how we have used social investment to support LGBTQI people fleeing persecution.

    As we approach our second round of social investment I am reminded that:
    1️⃣ It is not all about money. Social investors are key too
    2️⃣ To embrace scrutiny
    3️⃣ To be commercial and diversify
