A project bringing together investors, commissioners and service providers to explore ways that social investment could transform the delivery, sustainability and social impact of services across Devon, Plymouth and Torbay.
The website aims to give our stakeholders a ‘SIMPL’ overview of our activities, both local and regional, as well as learnings from these activities and resources about social investment.
Another aim is to strengthen the three-way relationship between investors, commissioners and service providers so that more effective solutions are being brought forward in the domain of complex life issues.
The project team regards itself as being ‘agnostic’ with regards to social investment: they don’t believe social investment is the answer to everything, in all cases. They are committed to raising awareness and knowledge about social investment. Informed decisions about whether of not to go for social investment would be considered a successful outcome.
SIMPL is a partnership between Barrow Cadbury’s ConnectFund, Southwest Academic Health Science Network, POP+ Plymouth, Torbay Community Development Trust and Colab Exeter.
The SIMPL project, launched 29th November 2018, aims to increase the uptake of social investment across the southwest, by bringing together commissioners, investors/funders and service providers to start conversations around innovative solutions in the domain of complex life issues. Next to facilitating conversations, SIMPL’s ambition is to identify opportunities and co-produce potential projects that tackle these “wicked issues”.
