Rooted: Beyond Good Intentions
About this Event
Rooted 2.0: Beyond Good Intentions
What are we building next?
Black History Month gives us a moment to celebrate what has been. Beyond Good Intentions asks what comes next.
Thousands of people are doing meaningful work every day; starting initiatives, supporting communities, building organisations, trying to solve problems that matter. But good intentions alone don't create lasting change.
Beyond Good Intentions brings together people shaping the Black impact space, founders, changemakers, community builders, practitioners, and people with ideas they're ready to turn into action. It's a space for honest conversations about what it really takes to move from intention to action, and action to meaningful impact.
This isn't another event where you listen to people talk about impact and leave inspired for a few hours. It's a room for real conversations, practical ideas and meaningful connections.
Come if you...
- Have an idea you've been sitting on and don't know where to start
- Are already doing social impact work but want to do it better
- Run a charity, social enterprise, community initiative or purpose-led business
- Want to understand what makes impact meaningful, sustainable and relevant
- Have experience, knowledge or resources you want to share with others
- Care deeply about your community and want to contribute to something bigger
- Are simply curious about what the future of the Black impact space could look like
Expect...
Real conversations. The messy bits. The lessons. The things people don't always tell you about building for impact.
Practical insight. Ideas, perspectives and approaches you can actually take away and apply.
People worth knowing. Connect with founders, changemakers, practitioners and people at different stages of their impact journey.
Space to think. Step away from the noise and ask: what am I really trying to change, and what would it take to make it happen?
A chance to contribute. This isn't a room where impact is something we simply talk about. Everyone has something to bring — an idea, an experience, a question, a connection or a different way of seeing things.
This is about more than inspiration. It's about building ideas, building organisations, and building the kind of impact infrastructure that allows good work to go further.
Come with your idea. Come with your experience. Come with your questions. Come even if you're still figuring it out.
You don't have to have it all worked out. You just have to be willing to move.

Why Rooted?
Too often, Black History Month is framed only around looking back. Rooted is about looking forward and grounding ourselves in heritage while stepping boldly into the future.
At Rooted, you’ll leave not just inspired, but equipped with sharper storytelling skills and funding insights to help you scale your vision. It’s about visibility, connection, and the power of community to influence systems.
Because when we are rooted, we cannot be moved.
Hosted by The Impact Lounge
