Executive Summary
Why do we want to open Impact Hub Birmingham?
How will we operate Impact Hub Birmingham?
What will Impact Hub Birmingham be like?
Birmingham is a globally connected city with a strong history. But, like most cities it has its challenges and some of these challenges are serious and systemic. We want to be part of building a stronger future for the people of Birmingham & connecting them to a world class global network of inspiration, innovation and change.
A strong core team with collective experience in financial management, operational planning, community building, civic change and entrepreneurialism. Backed up by a talented and motivated maker team.
Housed in 566m2 of a renovated factory in Digbeth, the Social Enterprise quarter of Birmingham. Impact Hub Birmingham will be a fresh, creative home for citizens who want to help build a better Birmingham. Accessing a community inspired and built by TEDxBrum and the diverse team networks there are already 50 people waiting to sign up as members with a further 1000 on a mailing list. Curating and fostering a community of like minded individuals, businesses and other organisations across a broad range of sectors. We want to insure that Impact Hub Birmingham can draw on a wealth of expertise to deliver the impact the city needs.
A home for local system change in birmingham, a platform for purpose, for those not willing to accept the status quo & want to make a positive impact on the world around them.
Along with a number of key strategic partners and advisors, Impact Hub Birmingham will host a broad range of inspiring content, exciting businesses and impactive programmes. Being based in Digbeth, an area that is being reimagined and repurposed, with the old factories and warehouses of Birmingham’s oldest industrial area given a new lease of life by purpose driven social, cultural and creative entrepreneurs committed to social change.
Birmingham Curiosity breeds change and innovation, and with one of the youngest most diverse populations in the world and a track record of bringing together great minds to develop ideas, share inspiration and drive change - Birmingham questions everything and always looks for new ways of doing things. A creative energy pulses through the city. Yet despite its intellectual and cultural heritage and youthful, innovative spirit, Birmingham remains a city with a self effacing and down-to-earth charm – never boastful, never arrogant but curious, enthusiastic and focused on making things happen. Mirroring the modest nature of its people, it is a city that gets on with it.
‘In closing my account of Birmingham I must say that I have found more heartiness in their sympathy, more earnestness in their desire to forward my interests, and more friendliness at their firesides than in any town I have seen’
- James Watkins, 1853
A globally competitive, connected, diverse and innovative city.
… a city with an appetite for change … fuelled by young talent
The power of collaboration is behind some of Birmingham’s biggest achievements. In the 18th century, for example, scientists, inventors and natural philosophers Erasmus Darwin, Matthew Boulton, James Watt, Joseph Priestley and Josiah Wedgwood would gather in Birmingham and engage in intellectual debates - their conversations were the brainpower behind the Industrial Revolution. The diversity of the city’s residents brings a rich cultural mix to Birmingham, 30% of residents are of minority ethnic origin. And yet many of these residents are facing real difficulties, with a significantly higher unemployment rate than the rest of the country and some of the highest levels of deprivation. With the city council being forced to cut spending, now is the time for a new breed of civic focused citizens to help shape the city we want to live in.
There’s a feeling in the city that anything is possible – providing a fertile environment for audacious
ambitions, most inspired thoughts and great enterprising ideas to develop and grow.
… full of ambition … a city that brings great minds together … independent culture and fusion

Education and Research
Health
Manufacturing
Birmingham is at the heart of the UK’s educational network and provides a platform for world-leading talent and provocations to thrive.
Birmingham is strategically placed to bring innovation to the way healthcare services are delivered.
Birmingham was considered the first manufacturing town of the world, with the result that many landmark advancements including the steam engine, the Mini, the pneumatic tyre and medical X-rays have been invented and patented here.
Over 80,000 students pass through the doors of Birmingham’s 6 universities - offering a pipeline of talent and fresh-thinking to the city Research across the universities is rated at international standard or above in the diverse fields of computer science, social policy, business management and physics. Significantly, the University of Birmingham is a leading global player in the field of world class research and investment into research. Outside of higher education Birmingham’s 42 public libraries allow the city’s population access to over 2.7 million books. The education scene in Birmingham is regularly producing innovations, inspirations and world class talent, however there is concern about the graduate retainment; with London so close we often lose much of our talent to the capital. However, with a notable increase in the quality of life and a far lower cost of living, Birmingham continues to grow its world class offering with more and more graduates choosing the city as their destination of choice. The co founding & maker team understand this all too well. Having all been graduates of the cities universities who have returned to Birmingham after careers in London, we are determined to grow Birmingham’s market and status as a leading world city in its own right. From developments across investment, infrastructure and institutions to our reemerging civic pride, there are numerous strong indicators that Birmingham is at the brink of its most exciting times in recent history.
Birmingham & the West Midlands has 6 Universities training the future UK healthcare workforce and conducting some world class research. Birmingham has some of the largest and most innovative NHS trusts looking to engage very closely with SMEs. We are home to the world-class Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Royal Centre for Defence Medicine The new Institute of Translational Medicine is soon to open its doors, precipitating the adoption of research into everyday patient care Impact Hub Birmingham has already begun conversations with the above institutions and our broader networks such as Health 2.0 Birmingham. We welcome a new, innovative, diverse and fresh thinking discourse around healthcare and social impact.
To this day, Birmingham and the greater West Midlands remains a manufacturing stronghold, home to the likes of Jaguar Land Rover and Brooks cycle saddles. As practices are changing, so is the face of manufacturing, with more local-level production. Open manufacturing and digital fabrication is allowing “making” to be more accessible. Impact Hub Birmingham is committed to driving this change through the development of a maker space in the future, allowing communities and businesses to learn, design, prototype and test their ideas.
Social & Civic Innovation With socially focused, purpose driven, creative entrepreneurs discovering new, exciting and much needed ways to address society’s most critical social and environmental challenges, there is no shortage of encouragement in Birmingham. It is well known that creating large scale innovation through social and civic innovation requires radical openness, trust, courage, transparency and collaboration across sectors and disciplines. More recently, there has been a growing body of evidence and understanding around the wider systems change approach of thinking by looking at collective impact models of deep change. Whilst recognising start ups are a significant tool for social change, it is understood that alone they will not create the bold paradigm shifts required to tackle our biggest challenges. In the UK, we have a growing social & civic innovation community that is driving forward social entrepreneurship, social investment, civic innovation and systemic approaches to change. A number of large bodies have been bolstering this sector, largely focused in London, and including the likes of Nesta, Big Society Capital, Ashoka UK, School for Social Entrepreneurs, UnLtd, Impact Hub Westminster and Young Foundation to name but a few. Many traditional, large scale
Whilst the social and civic innovation community of Birmingham is strong and ever growing, it remains fragmented, operating in silos and still largely disconnected.
foundations such as Lankelly Chase, Esmee Fairbarn Foundation and the Barrow Cadbury Foundation are understanding the need to be part of this ecosystem. There is a very strong and diverse foundation from finance to resources in the UK supporting the social investment, social impact and social entrepreneurial field. The government has a number of areas of focus on actively building the social and civic innovation field in the UK. Birmingham is increasingly becoming recognised as an area that is making big strides in this field. It is estimated that Birmingham has 450 - 500 social enterprises in the city with an annual turnover of £180m, employing over 15,000 people. Events and programmes fostering social and civic innovation are being met with increased support from the public, private and government realms. With around 500 events, meetups and programmes currently taking place in Birmingham, it is fast becoming recognised as the go-to for organisations looking to also branch outside of London. Birmingham is actively investing in enterprise zones, enterprise catalyst funds and as a result, there is a growing trend in which both public and private sectors are getting involved in this advancing field.
Entrepreneurs, changemakers, and active citizens are rejuvenating Digbeth, Birmingham’s oldest industrial area, and in doing so are beginning to show the power of proximity, collaboration and an ambition to work together to drive change in the city. It is reported that Digbeth has the largest concentration of social enterprises in Europe. The education sector is beginning to see the value of supporting this growing field with Birmingham’s Universities, Schools, Colleges looking at a new curriculum, and increased access to practice based opportunities. Despite all these promising developments, many of our most innovative initiatives remain disconnected, in silos, thus preventing deeper collaboration. The city has still yet to establish the world-class and inspiring work and event space so crucial to consolidating the collaborative efforts taking place here. The result being that we lose many of our graduates to London, where opportunities to grow in this exciting and developing field are simply abundant.
The Opportunity Birmingham is young, energetic, bold, innovative and entrepreneurial. Birmingham is centrally located and globally connected. Birmingham has world class talent and resources. Birmingham has the potential to become a leading world city.
The city has been known for many years to have a self deprecating narrative and has had many years of quite poor press coverage despite significant advances in many sectors, world renowned institutions, investment and a growing economy.
Birmingham, however, has deep entrenched systemic social challenges, that have largely remained unchanged for many decades.
There is a noticeable renaissance of civic pride in the city, the independent scene is thriving, businesses are coming to Birmingham, more and more graduates are choosing to relocate to Birmingham or stay in Birmingham, bucking trends of the past decades where London has acted as a talent vacuum from Birmingham.
We know innovation, collaboration and work that has a positive social impact is key to taking Birmingham forward. Therefore, we think the time, conditions and market trends prove this to be an opportune time to bring an Impact Hub to Birmingham. Although innovation is expanding in each sector in Birmingham, collaboration between each sectors remains low, despite our knowledge that cross sectoral collaboration is crucial for building a social innovation ecosystem, and creating the conditions for positive social impact.
Whilst economic indications show that Birmingham is reemerging as a city of the future, amongst its citizens and small businesses there is also a real appetite for change, a feeling that anything is possible.
Connecting global innovations to local challenges through our community, collaboration and collective vision.
Birmingham, is still the heart of some of our most difficult and serious social challenges. Impact Hub Birmingham wants be the platform for those tackling them and be integral to our collection vision for the future
This provides an incredible opportunity for Impact Hub Birmingham to facilitate the ecosystem, build the market and become the glue. By building bridges between major sectors in the city and fostering collaboration, we would drive a broader movement for positive social change, where global collaborations and innovations result in positive social impact locally. At a micro level, despite all its progress there are large disconnections between the entrepreneurial sectors, social entrepreneurs, freelancers, changemakers, creatives and our institutions. There is a lack of world class hosted coworking & events spaces in the city, spaces that do
exist also have a real lack of resilient communities around them. We believe there is a huge and timely opportunity for Impact Hub Birmingham to bridge the gap. In building a strong community and sustainable business, Impact Hub Birmingham would attract the highest quality events, programmes, investment and resources to a bustling city on the brink of very exciting things. A place where global innovations can meet city challenges
Platform for Purpose Impact Hub Birmingham will provide a platform for purpose, innovation, collaboration and local positive social impact. CORE VALUES Open, Social, Collaborative,Transparent Build, support and inspire platforms / ventures / entrepreneurs / intrapreneurs committed to open, transparent, social and collaborative practices. An open economy that will be more democratic, productive, fairer and less harmful.
Global Innovation = Local Change Collaboratively building a new type of institution, a powerful platform for the change agent community driving local system change.
Live Prototype The Hub as a physical infrastructure, incubator, accelerator for visionaries, founders, disruptors and innovators; a backbone for those committed to a better Birmingham. A living laboratory for those looking to test new ideas.
Equality of Opportunity Working with innovative partners to develop strategies to create equality of opportunity, an equal platform for all, but one that also bridges the gaps that income and social class have created.
VISION / AIMS Build a movement and community focused on a fairer, more democratic, imaginative, creative and equitable Birmingham. Connect Birmingham to a global community of changemakers, bringing local innovations to the global community, and connecting global ideas to create local change. Be an instigator and builder of the social innovation ecosystem in Birmingham and map Birmingham as a leading global city.
CORE STARTUP BUSINESS MODEL Initially our model will focus on memberships & events based revenue. We will grow impact programmes, create high level collaborations with institutions, corporates and local government to generate revenue beyond space as the market and competition for coworking grows in Birmingham. We will leverage the key asset of community, shared vision and our diverse cofounder team talents to drive this forward in the future.
‘What is so exciting about an Impact Hub coming to Birmingham, is the community - there are many spaces, and whilst we are excited about world class facilities coming to the city, the real unique element is a sense of community, one that is connected globally but that uses that sense of collaboration, innovation and resilience of a community to make change locally. There is so much going on in Birmingham at the moment, but I really believe the Impact Hub will become the home for so many of these events, and inspire others to bring amazing things to Birmingham and / or create more here. It’s pretty amazing to imagine what will happen when you bring so many passionate people into one space, a community that wants to drive positive social impact in the world. The team behind Impact Hub Birmingham are a charismatic bunch who truly know how to convene, curate and inspire. Exciting times.’

Competitive Analysis Co-working without Communities, Movements without Homes and Memberships without Value. 01/ MULTIPLE MEMBERSHIPS & NETWORKS Birmingham has many membership networks and organisations that are narrow and traditional in their structure, focus and offer. There is often little value to members beyond ‘prestige’.
02/ CO-WORKING & COFFEE SHOPS Coworking is an emerging scene in Birmingham as people transition from coffee shops to dedicated workspaces. Existing spaces do not curate communities or events for their members and focus on the office hardware to generate residents.
03/ EVENTS, PROGRAMMES, ACCELERATORS & INCUBATORS Across the city there are some opportunities for individuals to grow themselves and an an idea but they are either targeted (e.g. youth and tech), lack a specific space or are spin-outs from London. Impact Hub Birmingham has the chance to home-grow content, curriculums and pedagogies which meet the challenges and opportunities unique to Birmingham and similar global cities.
04/ HUB LONDON HUB UK currently lacks an Impact Hub outside of London. There is a unique opportunity to bring the network into contact with new ideas, members and provocations that only emerge in legacy cities like Birmingham. There is a chance to lead on making Birmingham a global pillar in its own right rather than a second city.
05/ OPPORTUNITY TO UNITE DIVERSE PLAYERS TO GENERATE OUTCOMES AND IMPACT Our prototyping, curated events and focused conversations leave us confident that Birmingham is ready, and in need, of a space where a cross-sectoral and multi-interested community can work, collaborate and build change for the city. Impact Hub Birmingham will be this space.
06/ MOVEMENTS & NETWORKS Birmingham is brimming with talented groups and individuals that do not converge and interact. Impact Hub Birmingham will offer a focal point for these movements to collaborate and deliver innovations in the city.
Ecosystem Builder & Instigator Impact Hub Birmingham isn’t just another player in the co - working world, but instead an instigator and builder of the social impact ecosystem Current co-working space, membership organisations and programmes/events are all niche and narrow in their approach to value and offerings. Impact Hub Birmingham is committed to community creation, tackling city-wide problems and outcome generation. There is huge, unactivated potential, people and markets across the private, public and third sectors when it comes to creating an ecosystem of co-working.
EDUCATION ON CO-WORKING, COLLABORATION & SYSTEM-CHANGE
Co-working is developing in Birmingham and people are on a journey from coffee shops, to co-working, to collaboration. Our experience across different sectors, spaces and networks usually involve us educating and exploring the virtues of collaboration and system change to individuals and organisations we meet. This has led to partnerships, memberships and investments emerging from different sources at diverse levels. Our experiences as community builders and conversation shapers means we are established as instigators and builders of a change ecosystem in Birmingham. This has increased our influence and interconnectedness in the city and beyond, generating strategic partnerships and
positioning Impact Hub Birmingham as THE influencer in co-working, collaboration and system change.
FLEXIBLE, HIGH-SPEC AND HIGH-TECH
We are investing in state of the art infrastructure as this is key to high quality co-working. SMEs, entrepreneurs, freelancers, creatives, community organisations and corporations often cannot access the high spec tools and resources needed to allow them to thrive - so we are bringing these to our community. Flexible access to this is key to our success and our member packages, hosts and online presence will facilitate this.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & CONNECTIONS As our community grows our role as ecosystem builders and a platform for collaboration will become more prominent as we aim to offer greater value and connectivity to our members. Co-creation has been a huge part of our approach and member journey will remain central to the events, programmes and content that emerges from the Hub. Our role is to pioneer and catalyse innovations, engagement and impact by, with and for our members. This means exploring new activities, technologies, media channels and programmes amongst others.
BUSINESS MODEL BEYOND SPACE
Impact and Innovation will be driven through the collaborations, networks and diversity that membership offers - this makes the physical space a potential limit to our model and mission. We believe the true value of Impact Hub Birmingham lies beyond its base role as a space manager and are exploring ways to monetise value beyond rental income. Outcome financing, crowd-funding impacts and problem focused partnerships are some of the routes we are exploring here.
BUILDING A WORLD CLASS LOCATION
Birmingham needs a world-class and globally connected coworking community so it can move beyond it’s second city label. Our strategic partnerships with Birmingham City Council, 00 Architects and the Walker Building means we are well placed to do this. Discussions with future members and global Hub founders helped us identify and make the key needs, partnerships and deliverables a world-class location needs. We are confident that we have found this and our space will instigate a wider shift placing Birmingham as a world-leader in diverse fields.

Theory of Change Needs Purpose driven entrepreneurs, changemakers, social enterprises, freelancers, intrapreneurs and social impact organisations need collaboration, community, and resources to accelerate social impact. Social, civic and corporate innovators remain largely disconnected and without resilient resourced community to create the scale of impact they want to see. Collaboration is accelerated when like minded and purpose driven people are able to meet, work, create in close proximity with ease, these spaces are not in abundance in Birmingham Active communities need a home / nucleus to drive forward movements for change, social justice and positive social impact in a city, links with a global community mean this can be accelerated and contribute to an global social impact.
MEMBER COMMUNITY Hosted Space Collaborative Space With Collective Vision Open plan, flexible workspace with high productive values and design values to encourage collaborating and bump rate of meeting other members. Diverse spaces, easily changeable for a variety of activity. Hosts the catalyse connection and share opportunity. Flexible members that allows many to be members. Cafe area accessible for non members, visitors and guests to utilise Hub. Free events that are open to the public. Design values and space curation that aligns with collective vision for global and local social impact.
Inspiring and flexible collaborative workspace for members to connect, collaborate and create with collective shared local and global purpose.
Preconditions Use social / digital media to create purpose driven movement to attract potential community / members to a collective vision. Co create, co design events to surface shared vision, purpose and ideas to build co producers of the hub not merely members. Curate events, campaigns and spaces where shared vision, coworking, events, curated programmes and active vibrant community will thrive and show possibility to attract attract people to become members.

Diverse and passionate Birmingham based talent who are committed to bringing an Impact Hub to Birmingham, bringing a provocative community together to co create the space and vision. Our volunteer maker team has been growing since August 2013 and will be involved in a work trade scheme as members of the Hub in the future.
Impact Hub London
Impact Hub: GLOBAL COMMUNITY
4 Hubs in London: Westminster, Kings Cross, Islington and Brixton. Over 1,000 diverse members, over 20,000 sq ft of creative space incubating new ideas, knowledge, people and skills. More than 500 events a year - workshops, academies, accelerator & incubator programmes crossing all sectors.
Each impact hub is locally owned combining places, programmes and people to create positive impact on the world around them. For us joining the network is exciting and crucial to taking forward to work we have done in growing the collective vision for change in our city. The local focus, collaborative and innovative ethos has been a huge inspiration for us, and we believe that our members will share learnings from local innovation that is transforming the city as well as global innovative and practice being connected to Birmingham. Birmingham is not trying to catch up with London, we believe through international collaboration and connections we will continue to grow as a leading world city in our own right. We have been continually inspired by the work of the global network and want to connect our members to vibrant, talented and ambitious community as well as the incredible learnings from around the world. We believe the time is right for us as a team and as a city to join the global network. There is a lot of amazing things to learn from such a diverse array of talent. However, we also believe the unique opportunities and learning from our city, combined with the very diverse interests of the team will make us a strong addition to an incredible network.

5000 venturers working at the new frontiers of some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most pressing social, cultural, and environmental challenges
Opening in another 25 global locations

Spread across 5 continents
1,500+ jobs - Impact Hub members are creating 1500+ new full time jobs per year.
Impact Hub Birmingham Governance Impact Hub Birminghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Structure Impact Hub Birmingham has chosen to form as a CIC. A community interest company (CIC) is a new type of company introduced by the United Kingdom government in 2005 under the Companies (Audit, Investigations and Community Enterprise) Act 2004, designed for social enterprises that want to use their profits and assets for the public good. We feel this ethos, approach and structure best aligns with our mission.
HUB BIRMINGHAM VENTURES CIC (Holding Company) Immy Kaur (50%) Do Laboratories Ltd (50%)
We have formed a CIC and a holding company to enable us to spin out ventures, projects and models in the future. We have provided all of the equity share for transparency, the share represents the collective decision of the team based on work done to date and work expected in the first 3 years. The operating company is run and owned by the 5 Birmingham based co - founders whose vision and commitment to the city has driven this from an idea to a community and now almost a reality. Imandeep Kaur and the other 4 co founders in the operating company have complete control and decision making power to strategically and operationally steer the Hub in the direction for the local context. The purpose of a seperate holding company is to allow the team, who have varied interests and expertise, to grow and pursue in relation to Impact Hub Birmingham. Whilst being able spin off other ideas and ventures in the future without risking the viability of Impact Hub Birmingham. Having a collaborative workspace architects and designers as shareholders, they are providing much of the work to design, build and fit out Impact Hub Birmingham at cost.
Impact Hub Birmingham and other Impact Hubs in the UK Impact Hub UK, consisting of four London Hubs, has been hugely successful in developing co-working and social innovation practices in the capital. Impact Hub Birmingham will take the learning and support of these Hubs, and the global network, to create an Impact Hub grown and owned in Birmingham. Although only an hour and a half from London, the challenges, demographics and needs of Birmingham are drastically distinct from London. The transfer of talent, ideas and innovations across the UK will strengthen the connectivity and value the Impact Hub UK network can offer its members.

Hosted and managed by Impact Hub Birmingham, we will also work with local social independent businesses to provide catering / services for world class events. Our primary income generation will be through membership and events, but we will also be hosting programmes, incubators, accelerators and developing programmes at the Hub that will generate revenue and build our mission long term. Please see Appendix for detailed finances.
Financials: Financing Impact Hub Birmingham As per Impact Hub Birmingham’s finance forecast, £180K will be required during its first year. £102k has been estimated for capital expenditure and £79K for working capital. Impact Hub Birmingham has already secured a loan totalling £50K to pay the rent deposit for Impact Hub Birmingham’s space, which is extra to the above. Secured at 10% pa, this loan is repayable after 12 months, this is highlighted in the cash flow drop at the end of year one. There is a contingency agreement in place to renew this loan if revenues do not allow full repayment of this capital. Financing for Impact Hub Birmingham will be raised as follows: Hub Birmingham have secured a 12 month rent free period, lower than average per sq. ft rental and low service charge over a 5 year lease Impact Hub Birmingham has applied for grant funding totalling £200k from: - Barrow Cadbury Trust - £50k - Enterprise Catalyst - £50k - Birmingham Post Growth Fund - £100k Impact Hub Birmingham is running a crowdfunding ‘Kickstarter’ campaign aimed at bringing in £50k by January 2015 Best case scenario for Hub Birmingham will be to secure all funding as above by February 2015, limiting the debt on its balance sheet as the £50K loan. Worst case scenario, Impact Hub Birmingham can obtain a startup loan, at low interest rates, through Birmingham City Council organisations to cover the shortfall. Impact Hub Birmingham is in talks with a number of local and national organisations for fit out sponsorships for the space. The following sponsorships have already been confirmed 00 (Architects), OpenDesk / Haworths (Furniture), Nuvarti (Lighting), we estimate many more being secured prior to fit out due to our strong sponsor networks built through previous projects such as raising sponsorship for TEDxBrum.

A combination of programme delivery and evaluation exploring ways of instigating civic development. We will run an accelerator programme with CSL based in the Hub in our first 6 months.
UnLtd (Funding Partner):
A funding body in England supporting and investing in social entrepreneurs at all stages.

Journey so far ... Pizza Dinners Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec 2013 We held a number of monthly pizza dinners at local independent cafes as an open call to early members of the community, we built a maker team, began to find potential members and co created the visions for Impact Hub Birmingham.
2014
Open Hub Event Feb 2014 This was our first large public event. Over 70 people attended and shared their ideas when asked what would Impact Hub Birmingham really look like? What values would the Hub need to stand for? What did the city of Birmingham want in a Hub, why the global network? What kind of locations could the Hub be in? The event was held at a local coffee shop, where we discussed most particularly the coffee shop working culture in the city, the need for the hub to have core values for a more equitable, democratic and fair city with openness and transparency at its heart. The Co - Founders/ Directors had been formed by this time and we continued to grow the makes/ volunteer team who would help to found the Hub in Birmingham.
2011 TEDxBrum
2013
2011, 2012, 2013 Over the last 4 years co founder Kaur bought the first TEDx event to the city and continues to nurture, develop and grow one of the largest UK TEDx communities, with some 5000 people participating since 2011. TEDxBrum was one of the main catalysts for founding a permanent home to grow a community based on ideas, collaboration, innovation and trust. Many of the Impact Hub Birmingham team first came together through this network. Twitter: 4,704 Facebook: 1,126 likes
Hub UK Tour March 2014 Co - founders / Directors of the future Impact Hub Birmingham toured the UK hubs and participated in a Hub UK hosts workshop to learn more about the value of hosting. We covered the art of hosting, the journey of each Hub, saw differing Hub design, sharing good stories and heard about challenges. This helped to provide us with structure and inspiration for the journey ahead.
Impact Hub Birmingham: The Numbers 2014 Changemakers Dinner April 2014 To truly kickstart the Hub in Birmingham we hosted our first major event. We invited 150 artists, creatives, changemakers, intrapreneurs, entrepreneurs, organisations and people doing amazing work across the city to an event. We aimed to seed 100â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of conversations, to share and celebrate what citizens were growing across the city, and help to lay the foundations for change making at Impact Hub Birmingham. We hoped the conversations from the evening would create a more fertile ground for diverse people to come together to build a hub for Birmingham and by Birmingham.
Pop Up Hub Prototype & Hosting The Civic Foundry

Through the momentum we had begun to build with the idea of hub space in the city, we were approached by Civic Systems Lab to host a civic accelerator programme. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a space at the time, so managed to find a landlord who gave us a free space, bought some plywood and temporary furniture to host a pop up hub for three months. This is much of where our initial assumptions were tested, we attracted interest of potential future members, learnt the challenges of running a space but also did many workshops and co design sessions.
We wanted to celebrate the amazing work of changemakers across the city and begin to shape the future of a Birmingham Hub. The evening confirmed the decision that our team would approach the Impact Hub Association to apply for candidacy.

Location Workshops June 2014 We hosted two workshops on potential locations for Impact Hub Birmingham, we looked at what the criteria for an area was and what kind of buildings we were interested in. From June 2013 we looked at over 50 spaces in our top 3 areas before deciding on the Walker Building, which remarkably was the first space we saw.
Co - Designing the Vision/ Co - Creation Events
2014
We used the pop up space to host many workshops, events, skillshare sessions and began to understand what people wanted from a space in more depth. We hosted suppers, talks, small events as well as had an open space for people to come and work, build their ideas and grow their projects. We learnt there was a real lack of spaces that could host accelerator programmes across the city. This live prototype gave us valuable learning, and began to build our waiting list of interested members.
Building the Community ...
THE KEY FOCUS OF THE NEXT THREE MONTHS ...
To date we have done the majority of community attraction through leveraging our own diverse networks and experience in running TEDxBrum. The journey so far listed on the previous pages highlights a broad foundation for our community building and the large wider team has meant we have created momentum and interest in a wide range of sectors. We believe the transition from a wide interest to securing paid members, events and collaborations from this pool and beyond is going to be crucial.
CROWDFUNDER - December / January 2014
To prepare for this we have created a robust and active plan for the next 6 months to drive member recruitment. We also had a 2 day workshop in Birmingham with Soledad Pons our associate around the ‘Art of Hosting’, ‘Hosting an Epic Community’ and how to ensure member experience is world class at every point.
We will run a crowdfunder in December / January 2014 to raise funds for the Impact Hub, but to also launch with our first truly open public campaign prior to launch.
POP UP HUB - December / January 2014
We will set up a seasonal pop up hub to reinvigorate interest and excitement before Christmas as leverage the festive period in building bonds in our community. We will use this time for a number of events including: CO - DESIGN WEEK Co - Design week with community, our architects, makers, designers, furniture team and the core team in the empty shell co designing the future space. CO - CREATING THE SPACE WORKSHOPS Co - creating workshops focused on specific areas. practices and events that community want to see - understanding what Birmingham wants a ‘Impact Hub’ community to feel and operate like.
MAKER WORKSHOPS We have strong connections with local and national makers from soft furnishings to furniture, much of this part of the fit will be done in maker workshops with the community, team and interested makers. TEDx SALONS We have grown a strong TEDx community in the city, we will host small salon events on our main communities of practices in the shell space, to draw attraction to the Impact Hub space.
POP UP COWORKING Our team, makers, partners and founding community will have access to pop up co working area that will strengthen the founding community before we begin fit out / launch. CREATIVE / MUSIC EVENTS We have strong connections and partners in the creative, music and arts sectors and will be leveraging those communities to host pop up events in the run up to the main launch to continue momentum.
OPEN HUB - Late February 2014
On launch we will have an Open Hub where potential members will have opportunity to experience the hub, the founding, community, the space, events and team. In this time there will be a discounted member sign up and many incentive planned to bring a new wave of potential members through our doors. We will kick off this fortnight with a Launch Party and in the first 3 months of launch continue to have ‘Open Hub’ days to continue momentum. We believe a number of our waiting list and anchors will have become members prior to launch.
EPIC MEMBER & COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE - Ongoing
We are very passionate about co - creating an experience like never before with Birmingham and so have spent a lot of time ensure our operational plans regarding CRM, MRM, Pipelines and Financial Management are in place, we have had workshops with Ehon Chan and Soledad Pons to ensure that operations align very closely with creative / hosted member experience on day from knowing about the hub, visiting the hub, becoming a member to leaving the hub. Our ME Director Indi Kaur is focusing on this alignment of operational and lived experience of Impact Hub, curating workshops of learning for the team from our associate, other hubs and hosted space to ensure the whole team have as much experience and knowledge on hosting as leadership and how this aligns very closely with our operations.
A key part of our community is the diverse range of events by, with, or at the Hub. Curated by a passionate and talented team, world class events will be created by the hub, designed with collaborators or welcomed into our unique space. From fashion shows and exhibitions to workshops and hackathons we will have a range of flexible and inspiring spaces to showcase & host the cities most exciting events

Youth LAB / Incubator Creative incubator / education programmes for 16 - 30 year olds in collaboration with Beatfreeks and Arts Council UK. The Hub will look to develop a programme and platform for young creative entrepreneurs. A pilot programme to research the way young people as creative artists access and utilise co working spaces and the support they need to create socially focused sustainable enterprises.
accelerators We will house the first Cabinet Office funded Civic Foundry accelerator from November 2014 and aim to work in collaboration with Civic Systems Lab to develop rolling programmes based at Hub Birmingham including the Civic Systems Lab fellowship. We aim to build partnerships with organisation looking to bring traditionally London based accelerator programmes to the city.
Civic Systems Lab Fellowship The Civic Systems Lab Fellowship will be a powerful combination programme to develop hybrid ideas and civic models. It will include an innovative development process, education programme, access to the Hub and digital platforms. The purpose is to support entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs through connecting them to investment, to expertise, education and support to develop their business idea, venture or project.

Networked Individuals
Creative Practitioners
Intrapreneurs
Freelancers
Young at heart Innovators / Changemakers
Social Impact Organisations
Who?â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;
Social innovators, entrepreneurs, start ups, new initiative and project developers who can profit or non profit making. We believe this will be the core of our community, with over 500 social enterprises already operating in Birmingham largely disconnected from each other.
Organisations and Entrepreneurs who may not solely identity with have a social impact focus, but whose values align with the Impact Hub community and want to be part of community to expand their own purpose, ways of working, and potential collaborators. Whilst this will not be a large proportion of our membership we feel it is important to continue attracting new players to the community for collaborations and new ways of thinking for all.
Highly networked and successful individuals from a range of organisations but who are interested / work closely with purpose driven work, entrepreneurship, social investment, social impact. It will allow us to grow a community with strong professional & knowledge sharing opportunities but also expanding our networks. We aim to attractive 5 10 of these people each quarter as we know the importance of continuing to grow new networks and opportunities.
Creative practitioners and producers who are looking at creative ways to explore social, environmental and civic issues We believe this will be a large proportion of our membership due to our location in the creative quarter of Birmingham and the high numbers of freelance creative producers in the city beginning to shift their focus to purpose driven social impact focused themes.
Individuals working in large corporates, local or national government, housing associations and other large bodies who acival help develop, build or promote practical solutions to social, environmental or civic challenges. We have 2 maker team members who are from the corporate and housing sector who will be looking to build this market in Birmingham and attract our first early adopters.
Those who work from home or coffee shop spaces, need a sense of belonging, workspace, flexible membership opportunities and want to be in a community of like minded people to grow their own business and expose their business to new customers. We believe this will be again one our largest elements of the community, we have a waiting list of 80 with strong interest who currently work from home and in city coffee shops.
Young future purpose driven entrepreneurs interest in social impact. Young leaders who are emerging from many of the cities young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organisations, leadership courses and fellowships. 40% of our population is under 35, we know this opportunity will be huge, however barriers to access will be higher, so will be developing collaborations to create opportunities to this part of the community as we believe they will be the future core of Impact Hub Birmingham.
Profit and not for profit organisations and foundations with social impact, investment and entrepreneurship focus. There are a number of key organisations in the city we are targeting to move into the Hub, we have an option in March 2015 to take on more space so could consider creating offices depending on level of interest for these on launch. Pre launch we are aiming to selling 4 anchor desks to prominent social impact org.
Value Proposition
Combining learnings from the global network, other up and running Impact Hubs and looking at the economic profile and demographic of our own city, we have identified the following key areas of community that we believe need to be part of Impact Hub Birmingham and the community are focusing on building. We have identified who they are and what value we believe they will add to the community. We believe without a balance of the following communities the Hub will not be right for Birmingham, and so we have specific teams and leads building networks and relationships with all of these clusters.

Location Digbeth Digbeth - A Vibrant Creative Place in the City Centre of Birmingham. Digbeth was first settled in the 7th century. The area, close to the River Rea - now running underground, was chosen as the site of a market, which was the starting point for the growth of the city of Birmingham. It has always been a vibrant place – teaming with enterprise, industry and diverse groups of people. Digbeth can be described as the birthplace of the modern industrial city of Birmingham. As part of the Big City Plan, Digbeth is undergoing a large redevelopment scheme that will regenerate the old industrial buildings into apartments, retail premises, offices and arts facilities. There is still however much industrial activity in the south of the area.
Digbeth Social Enterprise Quarter Birmingham has one of the largest concentrations of social enterprises in the country – almost 350 at the last count and now probably nearer 500. And this concentration is greatest in the Digbeth/Highgate area, where over 40 social enterprises are based and has been identified as the social enterprise quarter by Birmingham City Council There are over 50 social enterprises in Digbeth and the surrounding area with a combined turnover of between £15m and £20m. The sector is characterised by small and relatively young enterprises: 60% employ fewer than six staff. 52% turnover less than £100,000 a year. 64% have been trading for less than ten years.
The Walker Building After months of planning, researching, and working with our community we have secured that The Walker Building in the SE Quarter of Digbeth will be the new home for Impact Hub Birmingham. We had a workshop laying out pros and cons of the space and other spaces in the area, it was agreed the perceived pro’s vastly outweighed the cons. The finish and high quality refurbishment of the warehouse space has impressed and excited many of the early visitors we have shown around and confirmed our decision to pursue. The Building is owned by UK based private landlord, a heads of terms has been drawn up, key lease terms agreed and final negotiations are expected to take place in early December 2014.
Over 21% were set up in the last three years. Over 20 trade sectors are represented in Digbeth alone. The four most heavily populated sectors are: Education & training 58% Youth services 30% Arts, culture & heritage 33% Community development & regeneration 33%
“What we are seeing here is the ‘repurposing’ of Digbeth - the old factories and warehouses of Birmingham’s oldest industrial area given a new lease of life by social and cultural entrepreneurs committed to social change and social inclusion.”
- Sir Albert Bore, Leader of Birmingham City Council
The Space 6,090 sqft. ÂŁ12.50 sq ft rent, ÂŁ1.90 sq ft service charge, 12 months rent free period & 5 years business rates relief. This is considerably cheaper than the average in Birmingham for this high quality space and the location. 145 workspaces 6 Anchor Desk Spaces 2 meeting rooms 3 flexible event spaces (30 - 90 person capacity) 24/7 access Gated / Secure Access but access straight onto the street. Opportunity in 2015 to take on more spaces for team offices if there is sufficient demand.
Risk Management Brief overview of some of the immediate identified risks with business, team, space / area and joining the network, and measures were are taking to manage these risks.
Identified Risk
Risk Management
Business Impact Hub Birminghamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coffee shop model is dependent on the members, and other tenants in the building, no public access from the street.
Costings of the cafe have been taken into consideration within the financial forecast. Future plans are in place to allow for a more public facing service. However we have taken into consideration the strong coffee shop culture in Birmingham, the 150 other people who work in the building and have no access to high quality coffee shop and have experience in the team of running a lean coffee start up. We have identified 2 creative apprenticeship programme to support this also, and will be creating development and training opportunities for young people.
Team Lack of some skills in the team. Large Co Founding team
Third party services have been identified to provide the skills gap required to make Impact Hub Birmingham sustainable. These will be paid for or provided through a work trade scheme or have been accounted for as a cost in the business plan.
Space / Area Leased Premises reduces the ability for space changes. Reduced infrastructure around the area, such as lack of cash machines or local amenities
Requirements of the space have been carefully discussed with the Architects, who have experience in designing multi-use spaces.
Network Not being accepted into the global Impact Hub network as an initiative.
We have been working for 18 months to build momentum, grow partners and create interest in an Impact Hub in the city, because we see the potential in Birmingham as a leading global city. We were initially greeted with reactions of it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work, but after 18 months of momentum building there is an incredible amount of interest. We understand, we have a chance to act on feedback if not accepted and would try again immediately and discuss with the association the best way to move forward and not lose the momentum of our community and work to date.
We have been advised our co founding team is larger than normally advised and we have been working hard to have training on dealing with conflict, creating clear roles and leadership streams for each team member and believe that we have an exceptional team, which is one of our biggest strengths in its sheer tenacity & resilience, we recognise early feedback given and are working hard to ensure we keep the bonds and working relationship effective, efficient and productive to create a world class hub and movement for change in Birmingham.
Digbeth has been identified for regeneration by the Birmingham City Council. Impact Hub Birmingham is engaging with local networks and groups to help the process along and regenerate the area.

The following table gives a key indication of the immediate priority steps we are prepared for, we have a very favourable 12 month rent free period with the landlord and therefore want to ensure as much of this is used productively to complete immediate startup phase to generate revenue from membership and events.
