EVENT – Investing with Intention

A Practical Introduction to Impact Investment for Health and Care Charities

The traditional charity funding model is under pressure. Donations are increasingly competitive. Grants are harder to secure. And expectations around financial resilience and measurable impact are only growing.

In response, more health and care charities are starting to ask a new question:

Could we be using our capital more intentionally, not just to preserve operations, but to drive mission-aligned outcomes?

That question sits at the heart of impact investment — and it’s exactly what we’ll be exploring at our upcoming event:

Investing with Intention – An Introduction to Impact Investment for Health and Care Charities.

About the Event

Date: Thursday 5 June
Time: 4.00pm arrival | 4.30pm start | Followed by a drinks reception and networking session

Co-hosted by Future Care Capital (FCC) and Mills & Reeve, this interactive session is designed specifically for CEOs, CFOs, trustees and investment leads in the health and care charity sector.

It offers an accessible introduction to impact investment — with space for open discussion, honest questions, and practical insight.

Why This? Why Now?

Charities across the UK are holding capital in reserve while early-stage health and care innovations struggle to secure backing. At the same time, funding environments are shifting fast — and the need for long-term sustainability is more urgent than ever.

Impact investment offers a third path — one that balances mission, return, and stewardship. It enables charities to:

• Invest in ways that align with their purpose
• Aim for long-term sustainability
• Back innovations that improve outcomes
• Measure both social and financial impact

And yet many organisations are unsure where to begin — or how to bring trustees and stakeholders along.

That’s why we’re holding this event.

What You’ll Hear

This is not a technical seminar or a sales pitch. It’s a real-world, charity-sector conversation designed to help you ask the right questions and consider what impact investment could look like in your own organisation.

You’ll hear:

• A practical, jargon-free introduction to impact investment
• FCC’s own journey — including what we’d do differently
• Key considerations around governance, risk, and readiness
• The role of charities in early-stage health innovation
• Honest, facilitated discussion with space to share blockers, questions and next steps
