Programmes: Sussex Impact CEO Club
A strategic growth network for 12 of the region's most ambitious social impact changemakers.
The Sussex Impact CEO Club is a management programme for the city’s most ambitious and impactful organisations – a high-level group of leaders from charities, social enterprises, CICs and mission-driven companies who have gone beyond the start-up stage and want to ramp up their growth, impact and influence.
This isn’t another networking group or passive workshop series. It’s a space for real conversations between experienced leaders, to share challenges, explore new ideas, and learn from the changemakers who’ve built powerful, purpose-led organisations. The Club is built with one key principle in mind: scaling social impact is a mindset, and no-one should have to do it alone.
