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

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!
