Social Impact Bond takes off

I was delighted to read that Big Lottery have decided to invest in the Social Impact Bond developed by Social Finance.
In particular, it is a very well deserved recognition of the efforts, steadfastness and enthusiam of Toby Eccles, who has worked for a some years in designing, developing and owning this initiative.  The concept of social impact being of value and interest to investors, the Government and, of course, to the beneficiaries is such a compelling story.  It is great news that the Social Impact Bond is now able to show just how important this type of alternative financing is.
So congratulations to all at Social Finance!
