Together with the Translating and Accelerating Research (TAR) Network, we have created a legal guide for charities on investing in healthcare solutions. This guide demystifies the legal and tax frameworks, and provides case studies from a range of charities on how they have made these investments.
The TAR Network brings together charities, investors, and service providers committed to accelerating health research and delivering meaningful patient impact.
Charities can fund healthcare solutions in many ways but it can feel complicated, and even daunting, to start out on this journey for many charity personnel. In particular, the guide looks at investments into commercial businesses to accelerate the development of innovations or services that will help the charity’s beneficiaries.
It covers:
- The legal and tax frameworks
- The different types of social investment
- The investment process and governing your social investment activities
- Working with other investors
- Case studies from Proven Connect, Kidney Research UK, Orthopaedic Research UK, and Vivensa Foundation
If you are interested in accessing the guide, and all of TAR’s other resources, you can join the network free of charge and download the guide – click here to find out more.
Members can also join a webinar with the authors of the report – Oliver Hunt, Leela Fair and Sonja Lawrence – coming up in early 2026.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Oliver Hunt and Leela Fair.
