Looking to grow your impact and connect with others who are making a difference across Sunderland?
Join us for Connecting for Good – a relaxed and welcoming networking event for social enterprises, community organisations, grassroots groups, and anyone passionate about creating positive change.
Whether you’re just getting started, developing a new idea, or already making a real impact, these sessions are designed to bring people together. Share ideas, build meaningful connections, spark new collaborations, and discover fresh opportunities to strengthen your work and your community.
At this session, we’ll be joined by Andy Grant, Head of Sport & Wellbeing at the Foundation of Light, who will share more about the opportunities available through the Beacon of Light and how local organisations can get involved. We’ll also hear from Sported, the national charity transforming lives and strengthening communities through the power of sport, as they explore how they’re helping community groups overcome challenges, unlock potential, and create lasting social impact.
There’ll also be an opportunity to take a tour of the Beacon and discover more about this fantastic community facility.
Alongside the guest talks, there’ll be plenty of time to connect with like-minded people, exchange experiences, and find out more about the tailored support available through the North East BIC to help you grow your organisation and maximise your impact.
