"This report analyses how Bridges Ventures and the sector have evolved during the last ten years, a period in which many have seen the beginnings of a sea-change on how business, finance and investment relate to wider societal issues.
Since its creation in 2002, Bridges has grown rapidly to manage nearly £300 million across three different fund types, proving that an impact-driven investment approach can be employed across asset classes – from growth capital for ambitious businesses, to investments in properties in regeneration areas and buildings showing environmental leadership, to flexible funding for social enterprises. The report includes a number of investment case studies across our fund range, highlighting how financial returns and impact can go hand-in-hand."
