In a time when community purpose organisations are being asked to do more with less, the new Impact Exchange Network offers a vital space for growth, connection, and resilience.

Launched in September 2025 by Phil Parramore of Plan-It-ESG and Paul Harrison of Awake Accountancy, this monthly forum is designed to support charities, CICs, not-for-profits, and all purpose-driven organisations with the latest insights and practical support in:

  • Funding opportunities
  • Tax incentives
  • Governance and compliance
  • Sustainability strategies
  • Maximising social impact
  • And so much more

The Impact Exchange Network holds its next networking and consultation event on:

  • Thursday, 13th November, between 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
  • Location: Grand Hotel, North Promenade Sea Front, Blackpool FY1 2JQ

What to Expect:

✅ Expert speakers

✅ Peer support and collaborative problem-solving

✅ Networking with specially selected advisors, mentors, service providers, and public-sector partners.

This isn’t just an event—it’s a movement dedicated to understanding and responding to the needs of community organisations, helping them become more resilient, grant-ready, and focused on delivering Social Value.

Forthcoming consultation

For the Impact Exchange Network to move to our next phase of implementation we also need the help of organisations that facilitate and support other voluntary and community organisations.  So, we’ve designed November and December sessions to be a short consultation series to make sure the network complements what those networks and services already offer.

Please join us at one or both of the November and December sessions to steer the format and focus, to meet the needs of community facing organisations
