Access to investment remains a significant challenge for many social enterprises. In 2026, SEWF will launch the Social Investment Manifesto – a practical and inclusive action plan for systemic change in social investment.

Social investors, funders, policymakers, social enterprises and social enterprise networks and intermediaries, we want to hear from you. Help shape the Social Investment Manifesto by completing the survey. Deadline: 19 March.

The Rural Social Enterprise Manifesto serves as a strategic tool and comprehensive guide for policymakers to harness the power of social enterprise to drive sustainable development in rural communities. The Rural Social Enterprise Network continues to use the Manifesto to positively influence rural social enterprise policy for the benefit of rural communities.  

The first Ecosystem Leadership Exchange, organised in partnership with SK Group and CSES, will take place in Korea. Participants will gain deep insights into Korea’s social enterprise ecosystem, examining policy and practice and transferability and impact, whilst connecting with a peer group of supporters of social enterprise from around the globe.

Full programme details and registration will be announced in the SEWF newsletter in March.

SEWF collaborates with partners and the global social enterprise community to deepen understanding of social enterprise ecosystems.

The next SEWF Policy Forum will take place online in 2027.
