BBRC’s mission is to improve the wellbeing of people, local communities, and the environment in the South West of England.

We believe that purposeful businesses and social enterprises can help solve some of our region’s biggest problems so that everyone can thrive.

By channelling investment in the right way to the right places, we can see regional priorities met and a more resilient economy emerge.

We channel capital into the regional economy in a way that increases its social, economic and environmental benefits.  Our regional insight and connections create a healthier economy, which enables impact to multiply naturally, giving organisations a better chance of delivering on revenue and impact goals.
