The Beacon Philanthropy and Impact Forum - February 2026

The Beacon Philanthropy and Impact Forum has become a vital moment in the calendar for those wanting to grow philanthropy and impact in the UK, and this year marks a particularly exciting chapter in its history.

Following The Beacon Collaborative’s merger with NPC earlier this year, we are thrilled to offer an even more ambitious Forum which will double in size in 2026 to include more than 500 participants. The goal remains the same, to convene leaders across the impact economy and to explore the opportunities that will fuel impact capital growth.

Who will be in the room?

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

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?
