Investment raising

Social enterprises, Charities and NGOs that have adopted more enterprising models have greater access than ever before to new sources of finance. Few pursue the opportunities because they simply don't know what's available, who to talk to or how to access the funds. Eastside has a range of strong social enterprise investment networks and proven services, which can open the door to a varied number of social enterprise investment-raising options.
Since start-up in 2005, we have worked with more than 200 third sector clients and raised more than £25million.
