Dear Katie, I'd be interested to learn more about implementation of these social investment bonds and their impacts of people in need of support. It has been proposed for example by Mission Australia as a source of funding for the 'third sector.' SIB's do appear to further marketise care and support where the motivation to assist is of a monetary (involving effectiveness and efficiency) nature rather than one of social justice, rights or because assisting those in need is an inherently good thing, including as a vital buttress to a civil society. Is there much of a published critique of SIB's along those lines, or opposition on such grounds from disability groups in the UK?

The Third Sector Research Centre is undertaking a review of tools and methods used to measure Social Return on Investment (SROI). Another useful contact might be Karl Wilding, Head of Research, at the National Council for Voluntary Organisations. I don't think NCVO has conducted research in this area but he has a good knowledge of voluntary sector research. Demonstrating SROI is going to become even more important for voluntary sector organisations if the Government proceeds with its social investment bond concept.
