# Social Profit Societies Allia Works with Investments in the United Kingdom - Allia By Tiana Reid | Published 2013-02-08 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allia References: [clearlyso](http://www.clearlyso.com/blog/4316/The) & [allia.org.uk](http://allia.org.uk/) Social investment has come a long way since Allia began its work in February of 2009. "Today, 14 years later, the picture has changed dramatically," writes Phil Caroe onthe ClearlySo blog. It may still be a tiny market compared with the billions of pounds donated to charity or invested in other financial markets, but it's developing rapidly and, if forecasts by [Boston Consulting Group](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-parenthood-community) are anything to go by, demand for social investment over the next few years could grow by an average of 38% per year. The Allia team is now launching the Future for Children Bond, which allows for investors to specifically support children in care.
