THE DISCOMCIERGE NETWORK
Connecting people who don't know each other but should
The DisComcierge Network is a curated meeting of people wrestling with changing the world for the better. Cross-sector by design, our community is full of interesting people driving change in their own fields. Change happens when people connect with those they trust, free of pressure or judgement.
NOT A JOB TITLE
Who’s a change champion?
We are CSOs, founders, engineers, consultants, teachers and people halfway through a career change.
It's a way of working. Change Champions are the doers, the people trying to move something forward with whatever authority they've got, motivated by positive change and curious enough to keep learning how to do it better. The struggles turn out to be the same no matter your sector or role: having the idea, getting people on board, and keeping going when it would be so much easier not to!
The four ways in
Supper at 6ix
A curated but not exclusive three-course dinner for people driving positive change. Cross-sector by design, so you'll meet people you’d not meet otherwise. Three dinners a year, in London. Register your interest and we'll invite you.
Level-Up Bookclub
A monthly non-fiction read, co-hosted with Heidi Joyce. Three books suggested around a theme each month and the group votes. Last Monday of the month on Zoom, 5 to 5.45pm, with a WhatsApp community in between. You don't have to have finished the book.
Change Champions Connect
A weekly 30-minute call, every Wednesday at 10am. We use Rose, Bud, Thorn, so everyone brings a win, something new or a challenge. Free, with a WhatsApp group between calls. Register your interest and we'll invite you.
People Planet Pint, Wokingham
Thinking global, acting local. On the first Thursday of the month, like-minded people in Wokingham and surrounding areas get together to chat about all things planet and our local environment over a pint. We’ve co-hosted it for nearly four years, making it one of the longest-running People Planet Pint meetups in the country.
What makes this different?
Cross-sector on purpose.
The person who unlocks your problem usually doesn't work in your industry.
Curated but not exclusive.
Helping each other build our little black books.
Low commitment
Thirty minutes a week, 45 minutes a month, or one evening.
What you get
- Kindred spirits
- Slow time to network
- Cross-sector perspective

Supper at 6ix
When serendipity needs a helping hand
WHAT IT IS
Supper at 6ix is an intimate dinner for Change Champions: people who see what needs fixing in the world, and then do something about it.
serendipity (n.) the happy accident of meeting exactly the right person, over dinner.
Over a three-course meal we create space for the kind of conversation that feels easy, honest and deeply useful. This is about quality time. The kind of slow, unrushed evening where you get to know the people around the table, where you can think, listen and connect without rushing on to the next thing.
It still won't be enough time, but you will meet people you want to see again.
WHO’S AT THE TABLE
You'll be one of twelve guests. We're cross-sector and cross-disciplinary. What we share is that we're all doers, working on something that matters in a climate-changed reality. You don't need to work in sustainability to join us.
SME leaders looking to grow their business in uncertain times
Corporate sustainability directors navigating internal politics
Innovators bridging the gap between old systems and new solutions
WHAT MAKES THESE EVENINGS DIFFERENT?
We deliberately bring together a mix of interesting people and perspectives. The name is a nod to six degrees of separation, and the idea that we're all more connected than we realise. So we invite you to bring a plus one, which makes you part of the evening's guest list curation too.
You'll receive the full guest list a week before dinner, so you know exactly who you'll meet.
OUR PROMISE
By 9pm you'll leave with new connections, fresh perspectives and cross-industry insights you'd never discover in your usual circles. Most importantly, you will feel less alone in bringing about the positive change you're working on.
You'll also have the chance to join a WhatsApp group to stay connected with your fellow guests.
YOUR HOSTS
Supper at 6ix is co-hosted by Elizabeth Corse (DisCom) and Katie Neck (Sustained Futures). We're friends and fellow founders.
This supper club started at ChangeNOW 2025, when Katie joined the first ever DisComcierge mission. We loved everything about that trip, not least the time we got to spend with peers from across every type of organisation, doers from so many different fields who share the same mindset around positive change and the role business plays in bringing it about. Perhaps our favourite moments were the evening dinners, spending time with people we might not normally meet but were so glad we did.
We figured we shouldn't have to wait a year, or go to Paris for that matter, and so Supper at 6ix was born.

Change Champions Connect
A weekly hive mind for the discombobulated
WHAT IT IS
Thirty minutes on a Wednesday morning with a small group of people doing interesting things in completely different fields.
There's no agenda. We open with Rose, Bud, Thorn, so everyone brings a win, something new or a challenge. Where the conversation goes after that is anyone's guess. It's a water cooler moment, which is the thing most of us lost. It's drop in when you can.
WHO’S IN
Deliberately cross-sector and cross-functional, and open to doers working on positive impact, whether you're a founder, an MD, a consultant, a sustainability lead or an individual contributor. What everyone shares is that they're working on something that makes a positive difference in their field, and that this is their professional network.
WHERE IT CAME FROM
Elizabeth started it in 2020 at Tech Nation, as a closed group for the South East's tech founders she was looking after. When COVID hit, a weekly call was what kept people connected to each other, and it stuck. Six years later it's still running, although it stopped being just for tech founders a long time ago.
HOW IT WORKS
Every Wednesday at 10am, thirty minutes, on Zoom
Bring a Rose, Bud, Thorn to share
No prep, and no obligation to come every week
A WhatsApp group in between
Free, and invite only
Level-Up Bookclub
Levelling up what we know together, one book a month
WHAT IT IS
A book club for people who love learning but don't have much time. It's for anyone with a curious mind who would love some shared accountability for reading a non-fiction book every month. Co-hosted with Heidi Joyce.
There's no pressure to finish. Sometimes the first chapter is the best one, and people have come along simply to hear everyone else talk about a book. We bank on at least three people finishing, so there's a conversation to be had.
It's non-fiction because our reads are picked on monthly themes that level up our knowledge. We love all books, and exceptions do happen.
WHEN THIS WORKS WELL
You want to read more and need the shared accountability to do it
You'd like to meet people outside your own sector without it being networking
Forty-five minutes a month is what you can realistically give
THE 2026 SCHEDULE
26 January, behaviour change
23 February, creativity
23 March, health
27 April, geopolitics
25 May, nature
29 June, energy
31 August, summer read, book of choice for July and August
28 September, resources
26 October, leadership
23 November, futures

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
We pick a book every month and try our best to read it. Read it, listen to the audio or go hybrid, we really don't mind
Meetups are on Zoom, the last Monday of the month, 5 to 5.45pm
Monthly themes, with three books suggested and put to the vote
There's a WhatsApp group
Bring anyone you think would enjoy it
People Planet Pint, Wokingham
Thinking global, acting local. Our local sustainability meetup, co-hosted for four years and one of the longest running in the country. No pitches, no presentations, no panels, just like-minded people talking about the planet over a pint, on the first Thursday of the month.
