Briefing for mentors
Learn about how the GET INFORMED mentoring programme works and what it means for mentors
GET INFORMED Mentoring programme
Charity and social enterprise board members have huge passion, accountability and a sense of duty, which can often make taking on investment seem like a step too far. According to research on Charities and Social Investment conducted by the Institute for Voluntary Action Research, the main barriers to considering social investment are concerns about repayment and reputational damage.
As someone experienced in social investment, this is where your skills, knowledge and experience come in.

Why get involved?
This is a great opportunity to share your knowledge and experience and help more social enterprises and charities consider social investment as a tool to deliver positive change. You will be helping to enhance and develop awareness across the sector – recognised as being one of the most important factors for success across charities and social enterprises.
It is also an opportunity to build your understanding and networks. Through being paired with an individual trustee or board member you will gain a unique insight into their organisation, their challenges and opportunities. There will also be opportunities to get to know other mentors over the course of the campaign.
