Why CAPITAL Impact Solutions?

CAPITAL Impact Solutions was born out of necessity.

For over 28 years, CAPITAL has stood as a leading force for lived experience in mental health. We’ve delivered peer support across inpatient settings, championed co-production before it became a buzzword, and shaped services from the inside out.

But in 2025, after a potential 80% cut to our NHS funding, it became clear: the system is still not ready to fund authentic, independent lived experience leadership at scale.

We had two options:

• Wind down quietly, or
• Stand up differently.

CAPITAL Impact Solutions is our answer.

A new, independent company, built from the legacy of CAPITAL but focused on scaling our impact nationally.

What makes us different?

While CAPITAL continues as a charity with local and advocacy roots, CAPITAL Impact Solutions exists to:

• Train peer supporters, professionals, and public bodies
• Deliver powerful workshops on trauma-informed care, co-production, and system change
• Challenge and support services to be braver, bolder, and genuinely accountable

This new model gives us freedom.

• Freedom to partner across the UK.
• Freedom to generate income and reinvest in lived experience leadership.
• Freedom to lead, not just survive.

Built on legacy. Designed for impact.

CAPITAL Impact Solutions is not a consultancy in the traditional sense.

It’s a movement, infrastructure, and offer for a sector crying out for real change.

If you’ve ever said:

“We want to do co-production properly,”
“We need to embed lived experience in our leadership,”
“We don’t know where to start, but we’re ready to change…”

Then we’re here and we’re ready.
