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 £3.30
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 UK. For example, if we help people into housing and to find a job, it is more likely that they will 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 calculate the SROI. Their methodology uses a combination of outcomes achieved by Crisis members and research evidence.

Two further Crisis Outcomes were used in the calculation of the SROI, if you’d like to know more or have any questions, please contact the Crisis Investors Team on 020 7036 2651.
*Due to a change in our reporting systems, we weren’t able to gather data on qualification for the last three months of the financial year. This has been estimated using the monthly average of the last three years.
