“GIF is designed to support and invest
into diverse-led social businesses. Access
to quality legal support and guidance
is often a huge barrier for so many
entrepreneurs, particularly those from
marginalised backgrounds, especially
when they are accessing investment for the
first time. Our partnership with Hogan
Lovells has been vital in the delivery of
this fund. They have provided expert
pro bono advice and support, enabling
so many social businesses to deliver
lasting change through their work.”
David Bartram, Director of Delivery
& Investment, UnLtd.
“There are over half a million adults with
Autism in the UK who are unemployed
and if you extrapolate that to people with
a much broader range of neurodivergent
challenges you realise both the scale of
the problem but also the massive pool of
untapped potential that UK businesses
could be accessing. Only 4% of FTSE100
firms have neurodivergent hiring initiatives
and Neuropool aims to change that.”
Jack Dyrhauge,
Founder and CEO, Neuropool
