Introducing the North East Social Impact Network

Delivering social value is now a key expectation across our industry, nationally and regionally – from skills and training to community investment and local impact. As a region, we have a fantastic opportunity to strengthen how we work together and maximise the benefits we deliver.

Building on the great work already happening across the North East and learning from similar initiatives elsewhere, we are launching the North East Social Impact Network as a sub-group of the CENE People Group. This network will bring together professionals from across education, design, construction, and delivery to share knowledge, pool resources, and collaborate, steering the focus from ‘value’ to genuine regional impact.

Our first event will take place on:
Date: Tuesday, 24 February 2026
Theme: Knowledge Share on Social Impact
Location: HICSA
Time: 8.30am registration / 10.30am close

This session will be an opportunity to connect, share best practice, and shape the future direction of the network. We aim to hold networking events bi-monthly, creating a regular space for collaboration and learning.

To help us make these sessions as useful as possible, please take a few minutes to complete our short survey:

Your feedback will help us understand your priorities and any specific needs you’d like us to support.

We’d love you to be part of building a network that reflects the strengths, passion, and drive of our region.
