Quality housing impacts everything from children’s health and education to caregiver stress and community bonds. Families with children are also over 35% of city populations, but they’re often left out of critical housing conversations. If you invest in Snowball, your capital contributes to homes and communities solutions informed by what families need. Read about just two examples below. >>Stronger Families provides family therapy to help children remain with their families and out of the care system. Developed by Bridges Outcomes Partnerships, working with Family Psychology Mutual CIC, the partnership has led to innovations in care which mean c.95% of young people from families participating in the Stronger Families programme stay out of care. >>The Women in Safe Homes fund by Resonance Limited invests directly in residential and refuge accommodation across the UK to provide a solution to the lack of affordable, safe and secure homes for women who are experiencing homelessness, survivors of domestic abuse, prison leavers, or have other complex needs. The fund is a leading model in reducing homelessness for women and their children. Snowball's Sean Farrell and Rebecca Grattage recently spent time learning more about the new 'Family Voices Toolkit'. Developed by ZCD ARCHITECTS LTD and Van Leer Foundation it is designed to help investors integrate family perspectives directly into their projects. Find the resources in our comments. Let’s build inclusive, thriving communities that support families and offer children a strong foundation for a brighter future. #InclusiveHousing #CommunityWellbeing #WorldChangingReturns

“Impact portfolios can act as a natural risk mitigant: in addition to the positive impact and attractive returns, you have a future risk mitigation because you are not investing in industries which will be severely impacted by climate change and social inequality.” WATCH this new interview with Snowball CEO Daniela Barone Soares OBE. #WorldChangingReturns

Every financial investment shapes our world. So, what kind of world do you want? Alongside capital which is deployed through philanthropy, there is also a movement to shift investment activity so it includes positive #impact as a third dimension in mainstream capital markets, alongside the classic binary of risk and return. Snowball co-founder James Perry (co-founder of B Lab UK, and chair of COOK) joined a panel this week at The Conduit, alongside Matt Downie MBE, Harriet Oppenheimer and Lewis Iwu to demonstrate the role that finance and business can take in shaping a fairer, more resilient and healthy economy.
