Why ImpactWeave Exists

ImpactWeave is a Community Interest Company registered in England and Wales. We exist because the mainstream health system, technology sector and climate innovation space have consistently failed Black and diaspora women and girls — not through accident, but through structural indifference.

We are not an outside organisation observing this problem. Our founder is a Black African diaspora woman with lived experience of navigating systems that were not designed with her in mind. That insider knowledge is not incidental to our work — it is the foundation of it.

Where We're Headed

Our ambition extends beyond the UK. We are building a model that reaches African markets — connecting diaspora communities here with the health and climate challenges facing women and girls across the continent, including through our independently governed sister organisation, ImpactWeave Development Network in Nigeria.

We are actively building partnerships with community organisations, NHS trusts, universities and circular economy innovators. Every partnership we enter is genuinely reciprocal — community partners are paid, named and hold decision-making power in everything we build.

Give Your Time. Help Close The Gap.

ImpactWeave is community-led — which means real people giving real time. Whether that’s supporting a listening session, helping run a workshop, or lending a professional skill, there’s a role for you.

“I started ImpactWeave because I kept seeing the same pattern: brilliant, resilient Black women navigating health systems that dismissed them, technology that ignored them, and a climate conversation that forgot them. We deserve better — and we deserve to be the ones designing what better looks like. Across all of it.”
