British donors are just as generous as their American counterparts, the lack of a well-developed infrastructure might hinder their impact, our founder Cath Dovey told @BridieLayden's podcast https://t.co/rEuamL5kAD

In 2019 Beacon began a workplan of time-limited activities to catalyse the growth of philanthropy. The completion of our workplan this year means we've now fulfilled the original mandate. So the question for us now is - what next for Beacon? https://t.co/mvGpXQe9uW

"We supported many charities but never felt we were doing something to help people directly. So we created the foundation. I like to visit our projects, to meet people, get to know them and understand where the real needs are for us to support." https://t.co/y7kfUdZSrW

How do we grow philanthropic giving is the key question Cath Dovey thinks about non-stop! We need 4 things: a Philanthropy Champion, training for wealth advisers, better data and match funding, she told the #BeaconForum as another successful event came to a close. #philanthropy

Thanks to Jeremy Rogers from our sponsors @Schroders for sharing that his slow progress with philanthropy propelled him into building sustainable business models with Schroders BSC Social Impact Trust. His case study of Hull Women's Network showed real impact. #BeaconForum

Interesting insights from Sacha Sadan from @TheFCA and Rory Brooks from @ChtyCommission about ensuring regulation and labelling delivers and is fit for purpose so consumers know if products are truly delivering impact. #BeaconForum

[Stuart Andrew @StuartAndrew]

I was delighted to speak at @BeaconCollab event today to outline the ways in which the Government wants to work with the philanthropy sector to better enable, encourage and recognise philanthropy.

[Beacon Collaborative @BeaconCollab]

The #BeaconForum is going well with lots of great ideas and discussions and networking taking place. But none of it could happen without our event partners @OwenJamesFS and their dream team who are making everything happen!

[Beacon Collaborative @BeaconCollab]

What would you say if you had just five minutes to network with someone before being moved on to the next person? That's what our delegates are finding out right now in our Speed Networking session. #BeaconForum #philanthropy #impact #sustainablefinance

Hopeful messages rounded off today's panel discussion hosted by @zakicooper. 'Ripples can become waves and generosity is contagious. Altruism is part of our genetic fabric,' said @Ajaz Ahmed. @PHamzahee is inspired by young people today who are 'fearless and brave'. #BeaconForum

[Dr Catherine Walker FRSA @DrCatWalker]

Important to stay hydrated during this packed programme of awesomeness that is #BeaconForum! @GuildHall

"Arts and culture is not a 'nice to have'. It's integral to our country. Investing in it will bring more jobs and taxes..It's an engine for growth," said @ThangamMP . She asked philanthropists at #BeaconForum: "What do you need? How can I use public money to catalyse your money?"
