Become a Crisis Investor: Help someone take the first step out of homelessness and help society get a social return on your investment.
For every pound you donate to Crisis, society saves £3.24
Similar to a company selling shares, Crisis is selling investment units . But unlike shares, they can't be sold and there is no annual dividend or personal financial return on investment. However, by using the money to help homeless people, there is a social return on investment.
Social Return on Investment (SROI) is the financial saving society makes because of the work we do with people across the country. For example, if we help people into housing and to find a job, it is less likely they will claim benefits. They will also start paying taxes. Your investment not only saves society money; it also helps someone take the next step to leave homelessness behind for good.
Crisis has been measuring and reporting our outcomes (numbers of people into work, housing, education, training etc.) for several years. We work with the independent financial experts at Oxford Economics to continually develop our social return methodology.
