At PARN, we support professional bodies and learned societies with the insight, expertise, and connections they need to thrive.

As a not-for-profit membership organisation, we champion collaboration, deliver leading research, and offer tools and resources tailored to the unique needs of the professional sector.

Event Highlight!



Knowledge Hub

Our Members Area provides access to every piece of research plus recordings of past events.

As a member of PARN, organisations can have unlimited access to the Members Area meaning all staff can benefit from 'at the fingertips' CPD and research.

What's more, every one can attend our virtual and in-person Special Interest Groups at no additional cost. 

That means one membership can lead to unlimited networking opportunities and encourage personal and organisational development!

 

         

Training Courses

Our courses are the place to come for upskilling both new and experienced staff.

Each year PARN runs two training series on the key topics that professional bodies are focusing on in the current landscape.

This includes managing and developing CPD, managing volunteers, membership development, governance and the perfect course for new starters.

Training days are open to all and are based on fresh and relevant research.

 

Benchmarking & Research

Our research aims to determine and promote good practice. We gather insights from our community, analysing trends.

We conduct in-depth research projects every year, alongside our bitesize Ask The Network surveys, which are freely available—even to non-members who take part.

Our research is designed to give you the tools to benchmark your organisation against others in the sector and to support confident, strategic decision-making.
