What are some of the key areas you fund?
Our vision is for the UK to be a place where nobody is left facing life’s toughest challenges alone. Our mission is to fund small charities who are best placed to address issues locally and make this vision a reality.
What’s something innovative that you’re currently working on?
We are currently reviewing how we gather and manage data from the projects we fund with an ambition to improve our processes, the quality of the information received and to further develop our insights. We would like to discuss this with funders going through the same process.
What’s one piece of insight that you’d like to share with other London Funders’ members?
In 2022 we allocated a small percentage of our funding to provide core, unrestricted grants to charities that we had previously supported. We are currently in the process of reviewing the impact of these grants and are happy to share our findings.
What do you value most about being a part of London Funders?
We are excited to be a part of London Funders, it is great opportunity for us to share knowledge, expand our learning opportunities and collaborate with our fellow funders.
Looking ahead, share one thing that is on your radar. What should prioritise as a network of funders?
We are keen to review the impact of unrestricted grants on small charities and to use these insights to guide our funding journey.
What’s an issue or area you’d like to discuss with other members?
We are currently reviewing how we gather and use data from the projects that we fund, we would like to discuss how other funders manage this process, what they find most successful and what challenges they found when looking at when measuring the impact of a grant.
