The Social Enterprise Investment Fund (SEIF) provides investment to help new social enterprises start up and existing social enterprises grow and improve their services. We work to support social enterprises in the delivery of innovative health and social care services.
The Fund was set up in 2007 as part of the Government’s plans for stimulating expansion in the role of social enterprise in the provision of health and social care.
