Dear Next Government, Want to deliver better outcomes for Britain? Here’s how! With very little money in the kitty and an endless set of needs across the public sector, the importance of being able to do more for less has never been clearer. Social Finance has been working for 17 years to change systems so they can deliver the best outcomes for people with whatever resources they have. Now at the start of a new era in British politics, we’ve identified three priority areas where there is incredible opportunity to do better: ● Employment & Skills. 2.8 million people are out of work with a health issue, costing the government billions, holding back the economy and causing a devastating impact to countless families. We've worked for a decade to scale up evidence-based programmes to help people back to work. The next government can go even further by linking support to regional and local growth plans; offering person-led support to help people develop their skills; and removing barriers to employment ● Children & Young People. The mental health crisis in our schools; the impact of social media; the unmet need of children with special education needs. These are just some of the challenges the next government will face to enable children and young people to live better lives. We need to create systems where every child is seen and safe; where schools, health, and social care are joined up; and where we stop seeing children as the problem and start focusing on how the system can do better to support them before crisis happens. ● Health & Social Care. We need to shift healthcare from hospitals to the community and from crisis to prevention. Making that happen is not easy, but we have shown it is possible. Social investment puts up-front funding in community-based and preventative services while keeping a laser-like focus on outcomes. That means outcomes for patients and outcomes for health systems that reduce demand and save money. All three of our priority areas come with actions to make change happen, built on our experience of what is working and how. We passionately believe that the next government can drive meaningful change on some of the most important and complex societal challenges, even in a tough economic climate. But doing so will require using smart tools, like social investment; a relentless focus on evidence and outcomes; and a holistic, system-eye view of the problem. We stand ready to support whoever is in power to make lasting change to the benefit of everyone, but especially with and for those furthest away from support.

Really interesting to see former Chief Secretary to the Treasury Sir Stephen Timms champion the creation of an Office for the #ImpactEconomy in City AM. With constrained public spending, the next government has a game-changing opportunity to harness the power of the #ImpactEconomy — a coalition of purpose-driven businesses, social & impact investors and philanthropists — to unlock a potential £700 billion for national priorities. Prioritising partnerships with philanthropists, businesses and social & impact investors could help tackle the UK’s most pressing social, environmental and economic challenges. Here’s what an Office for the #ImpactEconomy could help achieve: ⬆️ Increase philanthropy to 2% of GDP 📈 Boost UK GDP by £149 billion and business R&D by £116 billion annually, and increase capital investment by £86 billion 💷 Support a £5.3bn pay rise for the lowest paid 💡 Unlock up to £50bn in social impact investment to tackle social issues and inequalities 🏢 Boost employment and reduce benefits payments by nearly £1 billion 🏡 Increase social housing availability tenfold by 2035, contributing £50 billion towards social & affordable housing  🌱 Double environmental philanthropy to £5.4 billion  🎯 Establish a £1bn Missions Fund for social outcomes partnerships to tackle child poverty, reduce reoffending and improve youth outcomes, generating nearly £9 of public value for every £1 spent 🏥 Deliver around £2 billion of fiscal savings on health spending 📢 Show your support by re-sharing this post with #ImpactEconomy.

Thrilled to see former Chief Secretary to the Treasury Sir Stephen Timms champion the creation of an Office for the #ImpactEconomy in City AM — and delighted that this echoes ideas in our #GoodBusinessManifesto! With constrained public spending, the next government has a game-changing opportunity to harness the power of the #ImpactEconomy — a coalition of purpose-driven businesses, social & impact investors and philanthropists — to unlock a potential £700 billion for national priorities. Previous attempts to collaborate with the Impact Economy have failed to fully tap into its potential. Prioritising partnerships with businesses, social & impact investors and philanthropists could help tackle the UK’s most pressing social, environmental and economic challenges. Here’s what an Office for the #ImpactEconomy could help achieve: 📈 Boost UK GDP by £149 billion and business R&D by £116 billion annually, and increase capital investment by £86 billion 💷 Support a £5.3bn pay rise for the lowest paid 💡 Unlock up to £50bn in social impact investment to tackle social issues and inequalities 🏢 Boost employment and reduce benefits payments by nearly £1 billion 🏡 Increase social housing availability tenfold by 2035, contributing £50 billion towards social & affordable housing  🌱 Double environmental philanthropy to £5.4 billion  🎯 Establish a £1bn Missions Fund for social outcomes partnerships to tackle child poverty, reduce reoffending and improve youth outcomes, generating nearly £9 of public value for every £1 spent 🏥 Deliver around £2 billion of fiscal savings on health spending 📢 Show your support by re-sharing this post with #ImpactEconomy.
