As one of the most advanced countries in the world, the UK still faces many challenges in building a socially mobile and integrated society. Acumen typically invests in companies that have a ‘human centred design’ (HCD) approach at their core, where social entrepreneurs and community leaders use this concept to develop innovative ways to tackle poverty and inequality across the world.
