The Big Society Bank/Capital and its role in society

The BSB became the destination for money previously identified by the dormant fund legislation, plus a contribution from the main banks under the project Merlin initiative. Renamed Big Society Capital, the organisation was remodelled by the Liberal Democrat-Conservative Coalition government.  The BSC is a catalyst for other social investment vehicles, providing both funding, guarantees and support for such organisations. It is not be a direct grant making body in its own right.

It is now called the Big Society Capital Group. The note gives a list of recipients of BSC funding.
