Impact Festival UK

What Impact Festival UK does

Impact Festival UK (Impact Festival Ltd, Company Number 12024627) is a London-based non-profit organization founded in 2019 by Hannah Bertram, a professional dancer. The organization operates at the intersection of performing arts and sustainability, producing live events that combine dance, circus, drag, and capoeira performances with sustainability education. Its core offerings include Impact Events (live performances), Impact Hubs (community spaces), and the Impact Challenge (a 31-day sustainability program). The organization has expanded its portfolio to include corporate workshops, school programs, and on-site activations such as a Zero Waste Stall and Customisation Station.

The organization's business model is primarily grant-funded, with the National Lottery via Arts Council England serving as the principal revenue source. Supplementary revenue is generated through event ticket sales and fundraisers, corporate workshop fees, and market stall transactions. The organization employs approximately 5 staff and operates across multiple London boroughs including Battersea, Clapham, Croydon, Harrow, and Elephant & Castle. Customer segments span individual event attendees, corporate clients purchasing workshop services, and educational institutions engaging the school programs.

The underlying technology stack is minimal; the organization delivers value through physical events, in-person workshops, and community programming rather than software platforms. A partnership network—including Ethical Consumer, Animal Aid, Digiwot, Element Arts Company, Zero Waste London, Sunny Jar Eco Hub, and the Sustainable Development Goals Network—supports both programming and distribution. The go-to-market approach is community-led and local, with expansion driven by borough-by-borough activation rather than digital scale.
