Not seen a lot of coverage in the sector press on this, but just know @Hargraver would have had an angle! 👇🏻

'Halifax isn’t necessarily the most affluent area, and on paper this should just not work. But that’s why economists don’t organise live music events.' Could have been a car park. Thankfully it isn't @ThePieceHall. theguardian.com/uk-news/arti…

The Charity Commission statement;
“As a fair, independent and evidence-led regulator, we only disqualify someone from serving as a trustee or a senior manager in a charity when the evidence gathered means it is proportionate and lawful to do so…..

…. The evidence in this investigation meant that the level of misconduct and/or mismanagement was serious enough to warrant this action.”

Guardian reporting that Captain Tom's daughter has been banned from being a charity trustee.
Good moment to re-up this 3.5 years ago. It was trade press, as so often, which ignored the fawning and saw the failures.

Q: Captain Tom Foundation: Why is there no decision on charity?
A: quite normal for complex or high-profile statutory inquiries to take longer than 2 years bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cxxx…

I think it’s a great point on how @TheSocialInvest (and others) have used existing schemes to get cash to social enterprises, such as the government's guarantee scheme

(Noted it’s not a direct comparison with direct, retail investment in charities and social enterprises, and why I’d still like to see a successor to SITR, one of the few policy interventions we’ve seen that was solely for the social economy in the past decade)

Just got around to looking at the Social Investment Tax Relief stats from last year ( ‘22 - ‘23 )
Seems as it was getting towards the end (closure of the scheme was in Apr ‘23) the amounts and number of orgs raising £££ was pretty consistent
c. 40 orgs p/a raising £5m - £6m

I think predicting it would be “worth £500m over 5 years” - which were some of the numbers thrown around was always a lot.
Performing as it does (£5m p/a to 40 orgs) means it’s not too dissimilar to what many CDFIs do

If the sector is going to see socially motivated, retail investment going into social enterprises to the tune of the £500m figure over 5 years, it probably won’t look like the similar sort of investment people put into the more corporate schemes
