Using our financial resources to create long-term social and environmental impact.

Our investments are designed to create positive change whilst also generating financial returns that can be reinvested into our future work. 

We think about our investments across a spectrum:  

• Social investment — repayable finance for Gloucestershire organisations creating social impact  

• Impact investment — investing in purpose-led businesses and funds seeking positive social outcomes alongside market-rate returns  

• Sustainable investment — investing in companies and funds that support people and planet  

This approach allows Barnwood Trust to use its resources proactively and responsibly in pursuit of our charitable purpose.  

Barnwood’s investment strategy is evolving in step with our organisational strategy. For this reason, we are not currently open to unsolicited investment opportunities but please do check back for updates.
