The new Office for the Impact Economy will bring investors together with people doing good work in their local communities to help unlock investment.
I recently saw how this type of investment delivered new nurseries - making a difference to local families and their children.

The racist attack on a synagogue in Manchester today is horrifying. The Jewish community should have been able to observe the holiest day of the Jewish calendar peacefully.
I want to extend my thoughts and solidarity to the Jewish community in Manchester, in Southport, and across the country today.
