"From Handouts to Handshakes" 2026

This is an action conference not a talking shop: meet others, be encouraged, find inspiration and discover resources for your journey.

Where you are already engaged in the adventure of finding enterprise solutions to poverty or just testing the water, join with others at out biennial "From Handouts to Handshakes" conference in central London on 27 March 2026.

The inaugural 2024 event received glowing reviews from delegates: "A triumph"... "One of the best conferences I have ever been to"... "I cried twice" (!). Take a look this summary video: 

2024 Event Overview

The programme includes a key note; case studies from the UK, Africa and Asia; resources, opportunities for networking and a menu of next steps.

The hot topic panels and small group discussions will cover: using AI; creating a redemptive enterprise; minimising power imbalances; and moving from micro business to SME.

2026 Speakers include Lord Michael Hastings, Peter Heslam (Faith in Business), Samuel Williams (Resilient Futures Fund), Sylvie Bracquiné (Sinapis) and many other brilliant people - see the programme below.

We are back at 10 Union Street SE1 1SZ, a short walk from London Bridge Rail Station. The ticket price includes a hot fork buffet lunch as well as refreshments, donuts and cakes to keep you going. 

Many thanks to all our event partners (see below) and especially our main sponsors, TEN member Bates Wells, who are blazing a trail in the "Impact" space. 

Reserve your place below and see you then!

The greatest value is in in-person networking, but for the online option, see here.

STOP PRESS: great news, and a brilliant answer to prayer: the Tube strike planned for 26/27 March has been called off. I'm leaving the document below with alternative routes, in case you want to walk or take a bus, but the quickest route is by Underground to London Bridge.

NETWORKING: Delegates will receive a link to our exclusive event WhatApp Community when they sign up.
