Read more about this new research body here…<\/a><\/p>\n

The concept behind this new body is to be a focus for the smaller social enterprise, to help them review, explore and contribute to the social investment agenda.<\/p>\n

The Research Council has two immediate projects; looking for new sources of capital for the UK social investment market and looking at the technicalities of improving the ‘pricing structure’ of the social investment market for existing participants.<\/p>\n

This research will run from November 2013 to March 2014. The deadline for submitting a tender for this project is Thursday 14th\u00a0November. For the purposes of this research, the City of London Corporation will be the coordinator on behalf of the Council.<\/p>\n
