The social investment wholesaler Big Society Capital has today launched a survey asking for feedback on its progress over the last five years.

Big Society Capital’s 'independent stakeholder survey' is open to everyone. Big Society Capital said it hopes to receive feedback from a wide range of individuals and organisations from across the charity, social enterprise, intermediaries and investment sectors.

The survey asks for views on its progress to-date, as well as ideas for its future priorities.

Newly appointed chief executive Cliff Prior said: “Big Society Capital was set up five years ago using the public's money that was lying unused in dormant accounts with the ambition of making it easier for charities and social enterprises to raise investment so that they could do more of their fantastic work.

“Since that time a huge amount of work has been done. But there is always more we could be doing and different ways of doing this. Having just joined as chief executive, I want to take this opportunity to take stock and hear from all of our partners and stakeholders to get a sense of how you feel the organisation is doing – and how it could do better.”

Big Society Capital said that it has committed to publishing key headlines from the survey, which is being conducted on its behalf by Matter & Co.

All responses to the survey will remain confidential, and must be submitted by midnight Wednesday 20 April. The survey can be found here.
