We represent a very real solution for UK communities...
Billions of pounds are spent annually through grants and philanthropy on hundreds of UK community projects and programmes.
BUT, nothing is geographically and operationally joined-up. Everyone is working in isolation, and the combined money being used is missing the potential for impact.
Financial uncertainty, especially post-Brexit and Covid, has seen the charity sector funding decimated.
Welcome to the UK's first communities-led social impact ecosystem...
Built to establish an alternative, sustainable support and funding stream into UK charities & social enterprises, the Pluggin Ecosystem ultimately exists to harness the business social value reinvestment locked-within government, public sector and local government spending.
In doing this, we connect it directly into the long-term activities of charities & social enterprises deep inside communities, whilst providing a dedicated support and facilitation environment inside which impact collaborations can be nurtured and insights shared across regions.
Dual Impact
Police, fire, council, NHS & CJS are regionally aligned to harness social value within procurement.
Provision
Charities & social enterprises collaborating with businesses, growing impact provisions.
Social Value
Businesses focused regionally, impact collaborators created deep within communities.
Knowledge
Civic universities in regions play a direct role in community impact through shared student knowledge & research.
Insight
Regional consolidation of impact measurement & research creating the evidence of transformation.
Trust
Sharing community-created and validated insights with residents, building local engagement & trust.
Yes, we do harness business social value...
Thousands of business supply goods and services into government, local government and public sector - all of which MUST return a social value back into communities and help tackle the major issues facing society.
Our ongoing collaboration with crown and public sector leadership has enabled us to adapt the ecosystem and provide a unique support to public procurement and the suppliers supplying goods and services.
We operate as a social enterprise...
The ecosystem was established as a commercial entity to ensure financial self-sufficiency. But, our entire business model is built for the delivery of social impact.
