The Government Programme for National Recovery 2011-2016 provides that the Government will establish a new model of financing social interventions called Social Impact Bonds that share audited Exchequer savings with charitable and voluntary organisations. The Government will consider how best to establish this new and innovative mechanism and will bring forward proposals in due course.
