CASE STUDY: A Journey to Impact Investment

With traditional funding under pressure and demand for innovation rising, many charities are exploring how to use capital more strategically. Future Care Capital has published a new case study sharing its own experience of becoming an impact investor — the challenges, decisions, and lessons learned along the way.

If your organisation is considering how to align investment with mission, this practical, honest reflection offers valuable insight.

Evaluating Integrated Neighbourhood Teams

This independent evaluation explores the creation and impact of an Integrated Neighbourhood Team (INT) within Arbennek PCN in Cornwall. Using Brave AI to identify patients at risk of hospital admission, the team brought together health, care, and community professionals to deliver more coordinated, proactive support.

The report applies Tuckman’s stages of group development to analyse what worked, what didn’t, and what others can learn. It offers practical recommendations for sustaining local innovation, supporting leadership, and embedding relational, bottom-up approaches into system design.
