How Much
SBSI invests in funds or direct opportunities that provide capital for expert charities and social enterprises to deliver outcomes-based government contracts. This funding enables social organisations to achieve greater impact for vulnerable people and provide better value for money for the public. Projects are paid for the social outcomes they achieve, with the value to government and society from savings (e.g. through early action to reduce the need for high cost care services) significantly exceeding the level of payments.

Key Impact Risks and Mitigants
Partnership Collaborative design models with local steering groups and stakeholder engagement.
Execution risk Potential delays in recruitment of staff.
Potential structural barriers limiting the ability to innovate and evolve services based on learning.
External risk Risk that referral levels deviate substantially from expectations due to public service disruption and/ or surge in need.
User voice Client feedback used to adapt services in response to disruption and emerging challenges for clients. Engagement with clients reduces risk of drop-off.
