Philanthropy Connector | Founder / Director in social innovation and techforgood, Beacon Collaborative / Mishi 🎶 / Charity21 🔧
Here to make philanthropy, social innovation and impact more vibrant, rewarding and collaborative. I have a background in designing/founding new tools for social action or change. I believe in democratising and simplifying technology to bring people together to achieve more, and to solve social, environmental or community challenges in a meaningful way. I’m an advocate for generosity. I recently cofounded a music wellbeing app called Mishi. I’m a trustee at Project Lighthouse, an Advisory Board Member at Charizone and an advisor at Apps for Good.

Purpose of community
There is a "say-do" gap in (U)High Net Worth individual and family impact investing in the UK. The intention is much bigger than the reality. If we want to break down the barriers, we will need to work collectively. Success could mean unlocking up to £11 billion in private wealth that could be channeled into purpose-led enterprises capable of tackling our most urgent social and environmental challenges. This group is where we get stuck in, sharing learnings, ideas, best practise and problems. Following the *12 recommendations* formulated by members of the Individual Impact Investing Commission, a stakeholder-led enquiry that ran from January to November 2022, coordinated by the Beacon Collaborative and Big Society Capital, we formed this group as a community of practise. Please join to to network, discuss, signpost and co-work with others.
