In July 2024, we proudly won the SE100 Social Investment Pioneer Award with British Land for our innovative new Hub in Euston. This award recognises our unique partnership, which goes beyond a traditional tenant-landlord relationship to deliver something truly remarkable.
What are the SE100 Awards?
The NatWest SE100 Awards, organised by Pioneers Post, celebrate the UK’s top social enterprises. These awards showcase diverse business models and missions, from startups addressing diversity in tech to community enterprises driving local change. Supported by NatWest Social & Community Capital, the awards highlight success stories and the challenges overcome by social enterprises.
This year’s top 100 social enterprises generated around £150 million in revenue, a 7% increase from the previous year, demonstrating the sector’s significant economic and social impact. NatWest leaders praised the resilience and innovation of all participants.
Social Investment Pioneer Award
The Social Investment Pioneer Award, backed by Good Finance, recognises groundbreaking deals in social investment. Impact Hub London, in partnership with British Land, was honoured for the creation of our brand new Euston Hub. This collaboration, valued at over £3 million, transformed the usual tenant-landlord dynamic into a true partnership. Together, we’ve created a space that supports social entrepreneurs, innovators, and under-represented groups with training, mentoring, and financial backing.
A Word from our MD Devi Clark
“This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of everyone involved. Our partnership with British Land is truly special, going beyond a typical funder relationship. Together, we’ve created a space that will drive positive change, and we’re excited to support the incredible work that will emerge from this collaboration. Thank you to everyone for your continued dedication—let’s keep pushing boundaries and making a difference!”
