Purpose of community
Beacons Connect is a private network for connection and conversation on philanthropy and social investment in the UK. It’s aim is to promote and improve ideas and collaboration.
Delegates at sector events often tell us "we don't want the conversations to stop". So we’ve chosen to create a trustworthy space for ongoing peer discussion and networking. We hope it will help you make and improve relationships as well as find opportunities to enhance the reach and impact of philanthropy and social investment.
The network is run by The Beacon Collaborative. We believe in generosity and collaboration. Our mission is to grow philanthropy and impact investment among wealth-holders in the UK. Membership is reserved for the philanthropists, social and impact enterprises and investors, sector support organisations, partners and advisers that we collaborate with. Please note that we ask you to provide a profile photo, title and a brief bio to join.
Why Beacons? Because that's what we are: citizens shining a warm and encouraging light on the vital and rewarding role philanthropy and social investment plays in a thriving and caring society.
Thank you for being here 🙏
