SIS Investment Pathways is a practical, nuts and bolts session that takes you on an investment journey.
These short webinars will:
· Help you understand how to consider whether social investment is right for you
· Look at what you need to be investment ready
· Learn about application procedures and ongoing reporting evaluation
· Hear more about additional support available.
Whether you’re looking for investment to support infrastructure development, business growth, bridging loans or you are acquiring an asset, these sessions will point you in the right direction and help you make the connections you need to move forward.
Please check out our investment readiness tool which asks some big questions on the current status of key areas of your business. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of your organisation is an essential step towards accessing social investment and also a good way to review some of your current processes and procedures.

The Dove Centre secured funds from SIS to purchase a minibus to replace an older vehicle, crucial for those in the Wester Hailes community to access vital services.
We will also be joined by a SIS Investment Manager who will take you through the journey to investment and discuss whether it is right for you now, or in the future. We work with a range of social enterprises and charities which means we have a wealth of experience to share, and we are happy to answer all your questions.
