Social investment arm of The Big Issue magazine, Big Issue Invest (BII), has loaned £75,000 to a Salford-based social enterprise, Social adVentures, to help it acquire a local day care nursery – Cheeky Monkeys.
The funds will help promote local jobs and cultivate social objectives that will assist local families and their needs. According to Scott Darraugh, chief executive of Social adVentures, “Without the involvement of Big Issue Investment we would not have been able to put this deal together. It is great for the local community, Social Adventures and the staff and children of Cheeky Monkeys.”
