Hello. I'm Andrea, and I'm a stubborn optimist.

I believe business can be inclusive by design, and can do more good than harm for the people who work in it and the communities around it. I started Social Impact Support in 2023 because good intentions stall without the right people in the room and a commercial plan that holds together. After 25+ years in marketing, sales and partnership development and 15 years within that building social ventures (750+ supporting), I'd seen that pattern again and again. So that's what we do: bring leaders, entrepreneurs and changemakers together, with a structure that produces real results. 

• Regenerous: skills-based mentoring and hackathons for corporate teams. 232 leaders have worked alongside 74 social enterprises across 10 programmes, with partners including Colliers, Baringa and Pernod Ricard UK.
• Consulting: strategy, ecosystem development and project delivery. Send us your brief and we'll tell you whether we're a fit.
• 121 Coaching: for small business founders who want clarity on sales, strategy and growth.
• NetShift: Supporting SMEs to get on the path to Net Zero and beyond.
• I'm also a board director of Circlewise CIC, bringing deep listening circles into the community and workplaces to build higher wellbeing, self awareness, and better relationships. 

We have no patience for purpose-washing, so please only get in touch if you want genuine change. You'll get the most from working with us if you value fresh thinking, inclusive facilitation and whole-systems design. I'd love to hear about the challenge you're facing.

Mid-senior level managers are often the most stretched and least supported people in an organisation. They're expected to lead, deliver and keep developing, with the least dedicated L&D investment. 

A two-day workshop rarely builds the adaptive, human-centred skills the role demands. Mentoring social entrepreneurs does. Placing managers in real advisory relationships with founders solving complex problems on minimal resource builds what classrooms can't: active listening, coaching rather than directing, and leading through ambiguity. 

Real challenges, real stakes.

For HR teams, the business case is simple. A  cohort of 20 Managers with wrap around support and leadership training targeting a core behaviour change, costs from £22,000+vat. Replacing one mid-level manager typically costs 50–200% of their annual salary (Gallup, US data), so if the programme helps you keep just one person, it can pay for itself. It's skills-based, not volunteering bolted on the side. Your managers grow, the entrepreneurs grow, and you get clear outputs and outcomes to show for it.

Because doing less harm isn't enough. For too long, the world's problems have been treated as charity, something businesses give to after they've made their money. We think that's backwards. We believe the organisations that last will be those that build fairness and resilience into how they operate, creating more good than harm for people and communities.

It's a practical shift, not a lecture. It starts with better decisions, better leadership and better collaboration.
