MiMe Heuristics CIC - trading as The Wildings - has established a new, specialist independent school in #Devon for children with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health needs. "There are definitely things I would do differently if I was to go through the process again, but we’re extremely grateful to our social investors – and there’s no doubt we be struggling to remain open had they not shown faith in us and enabled us to take the leap with repayable finance.” Learn more about their experiences with #SocialInvestment via the latest Good Finance UK case study - link in the comments.

Our thoughts are with all our members, colleagues, partners and others in our community affected by the violence across the country this past week. The question is how can we stop, rebuild, and show those caught up in destructive hatred that a better way is possible? While fascism stokes division and offers nothing but false promises, social enterprise builds unity and embrace diversity to deliver shared prosperity for everyone. Read our blog outlining how social enterprises are part of the solution, and how our sector can be supported to continue the powerful work we’ve always done - link in the comments.
