    If you’re a regular reader of London Funders’ blogs, you’ll know that we’ve been talking with members about shared due diligence for some time now. We’ve held three roundtables, undertaken two member surveys, and most recently a dinner for senior leaders.

    Reflections from our trustees: our ambitions for the future

    To reflect the big ambitions for our organisation, London Funders' staff and trustees have worked with members for the past year to develop a new strategy for 2022 - 2030. To coincide with the publication of the new strategy, we talked to Edith Galliers (LB Waltham Forest), who has been a trustee at London Funders for two years, and Emma Corrigan (The National Lottery Community Fund) who joined the Board earlier in the year. We asked what excites them about the new strategy, how we deal with uncertainty, and how our new strategy can enable us to drive long-term change for London’s communities.
