About Heidi

"Some girls grow up wanting to be a princess. I grew up wanting to help make the world a better place" 

"Make An Impact CIC’s vision is to create a world where all businesses are social enterprises that make a positive impact on people and the planet"

"Hello, I’m Heidi Fisher (founder of Make An Impact CIC) – an award-winning Specialist in Social Enterprise and Social Impact, Social Entrepreneur, Speaker, Author and Change-Advocate, and the very fact you’re reading this means you too have a mission to change the world - Welcome. I’m so glad you found me.

"Having helped over 2100 Social Enterprises, CICs and charities make more impact and showcase it to the world over the past 20 years, a true highlight for me came in 2020 when I received an MBE for Services to Innovation in Impact Measurement & Social Enterprise.


"Wow I never thought I’d get to say that!"

"Needless to say, it has set my fires roaring and I am now more determined than ever to assist the incredible Social Entrepreneurs of the world with my Social Impact guidance, advice and expertise.


"If that’s all you need to know to make your decision to get in touch, then I look forward to hearing from you."

My own CIC

My background is as a Chartered Accountant, having trained with PricewaterhouseCoopers. After founding Harris Accountancy Services CIC – a specialist Social Enterprise accountancy firm, I decided my real love was in Social Impact Measurement, thus Make An Impact CIC was born.

Charity work

It’s an honour to be a Board member for High Achievers CIC and Cancer United.

Speaking

A true passion of mine is public speaking. I regularly speak and deliver training on social impact measurement, management and reporting; pricing for profitability; setting up and growing social enterprises; developing your trading income; as well as a range of finance topics.

Social Enterprise Consulting

Throughout the years, I have worked with start-ups through to those with over £1 billion of income supporting them to become more sustainable, develop their trading income and to measure and report the impact they have.


More recently, I have worked with Impact Hub Belo Horizonte to deliver an abbreviated accelerator programme to creative entrepreneurs in the UK and Brazil, NHS England, Chime Social Enterprise and many more.

Author

I love writing, and have two published books. The first book 'Social Enterprise: How to successfully set up and grow a social enterprise' made its name as an Amazon best-seller. The second book 'Impact First: the social entrepreneur’s guide to measuring, managing and growing your impact' was published in 2021.
