VCSE Organisations VCSEs may are currently underserved by social investment for a myriad of reasons, including unconscious biases and a sense of exclusivity of who social investment is there to serve. For example, social enterprises in the North East have complained of a class bias, which deters southern-based intermediaries and investors from working with organisations whose context and impact they don’t understand. Increasing the diversity of the people working in social investment should broaden its appeal and counter the sense of 'them vs. us'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa271fa365f02ff28172333/1523891911114-XE7SAYT4J89WFND6L64H/Diversity_Why_Fund_Banner.jpg Our Why - 3. Investors & Impact Funds A more inclusive sector will increase the pipeline of investible organisations, better enabling investors to deploy their capital. It is widely acknowledged and proven that “gender diversity in business increases diversity of thought, which leads to better decision” (Economist, September 30th, 2017). It therefore follows that increasing the diversity of the people who work in social investment, particularly those at investment committee and board level, will lead to better decision making and ultimately investments and investment returns for the funds that employ them. This in turn should lead to improved social impact, and results for the VCSE and beneficiaries that the funds serve. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa271fa365f02ff28172333/1523891891275-RFBJAIQQQWNJNGQKCSRY/Diversity_Why_Individual_Banner.jpg Our Why - 2. Individuals in Social Investment People working in social investment, particularly those with protected characteristics can benefit from investor diversity. Educating organisations of their obligations under the Equality Act and offering support with their recruitment, retention and promotion practices will reduce the instances of discrimination faced by those in the sector. It will also reduce the likelihood of people, particularly with protected characteristics, being deterred from applying or being unaware of the opportunities to work in this sector. Increasing the diversity of the workforce as a whole will also reduce the exclusion and outsider-ness that can be experienced when there is only minority representation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5aa271fa365f02ff28172333/1634307780708-1PMPQLYDXMR5RFHWWS4L/unsplash-image-Ni-xXcVb8Cg.jpg Our Why https://www.diversityforum.org.uk/mission daily 0.75 2025-07-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59dbc7c2cf81e0c47e15482d/1509982426921-H8N1MHM8P0PC9NE5WPP3/image-asset.jpeg Mission "Diversity crosses ideological boundaries.
