Trust for London is seeking a researcher or research team to map the disability funding landscape in the UK - to help build a clearer picture of where disability-related funding goes, how it’s targeted and where patterns of underfunding (particularly for DDPOs and disability justice) may be occurring.
Funding for disability justice in the UK remains significantly and systemically under-resourced. This research will provide a robust, replicable baseline that can be repeated approximately every three years, and will support stronger advocacy and improved funding practice across the sector.
We welcome bids from individuals or organisations. Partnership bids combining lived experience, disability justice expertise and quantitative skills are encouraged.
Trust for London will also be hosting a webinar on 28 January for interested applicants to chat through the tender and to answer any questions. To attend, please email [email protected], along with a note of any access requirements.
