SASC is an award-winning UK social investor that provides flexible debt capital — secured and unsecured loans — exclusively to charities, social enterprises, and social purpose organisations delivering lasting solutions to social challenges. Since launching its first funds in 2014, SASC has committed over £135 million to more than 54 organisations across the UK, focusing on issues including homelessness, domestic violence, poverty, health and social care, unemployment, and community cohesion. SASC's flagship product, the Social and Sustainable Housing (SASH) fund, co-designed with borrower charities, enables high-performing charities to move from renting to owning housing stock for vulnerable people — covering 100% of purchase costs and sharing void/equity risk with the investor. The firm aims to develop enduring partnerships with investees, supporting both their financial sustainability and their ability to generate increased social impact. Its funds are designed to meet the specific needs of social sector organisations, with transparent, flexible, and straightforward processes.
