The Beacon Philanthropy and Impact Forum - February 2026

The Beacon Philanthropy and Impact Forum is a unique event in the UK that connects foundations and philanthropists, NGOs and non-profits, government and regulators, impact sector leaders and financial institutions sectors. All are experts in social and environmental impact and all are bound by a common goal, to grow the level of impact capital in the UK.

In summary, your time is precious and our goal is to ensure that if you spend it with us, you spend it in the company of your peers, you address the subjects which matter to you, and all in a time-efficient manner.

Who will be in the room?

The forum will bring together prominent philanthropists, social investors, thought leaders and sector pioneers.

Benefits of attending - how the event is shaped

• Beyond the Boardroom – structured networking with a twist that will let you connect with peers and build valuable relationships

• Strategic collaboration – share best practices and tackle key industry challenges through an informal breakfast, lunch, and post-event drinks to keep the ideas (and the good times) flowing

• Visionary inspiration – hear from brilliant keynote speakers who knows everything about the latest industry news and innovations

• Tailored experience – customise your itinerary with roundtables and discussions on the topics that matter most to you

It’s a day for changemakers to come together and dissect topics at the forefront of philanthropy. Last year covered various subjects, including:

• Building consensus around a national strategy for philanthropy

• The charity tech frontier

• Re-imagining the future role of wealth advisers in the impact economy

• Promoting and celebrating philanthropy

• Social outcomes - what is the future for innovation in UK social finance?

Get ready for a day like no other - where you will be joining the impact and financial community that break down silos and seek mechanisms for a genuinely impact-led transition for people, planet and an equitable economic future.
