Big Society Bank

The Government has announced that the Big Society Bank will be launched by April 2011.  The expectation is that it will start with a modest amount of between £60m to £100m with the aim of augmenting that amount through private sector funding.  Additionally, Nick Hurd, the Minister for Civil Society, has called for a roundtable discussion this week on the social investment market.  Investing for Good will be attending alongside other social finance intermediaries in the sector.
