    Commitment, curiosity & collaboration - your thoughts on our future work

    Over recent weeks, I’ve had lots of conversations with members about next week’s General Meeting that have reminded me why I love this movement so much – whether you’ve emailed your thoughts, jumped on a Zoom or met for a coffee, thank you.  Your commitment to our city and our communities, your curiosity about how we can be stronger together, and your constructive ideas for how we can make the most of the opportunity of the proposed changes to our governing document have been truly inspiring.  Ahead of the meeting, I’m sharing some of the highlights from these conversations to encourage more of this reflection – do keep the ideas coming!

    Building equity through infrastructure: reflections from my time at London Funders

    By Patience OtooThis summer, I had the opportunity to join London Funders through the 10,000 Black Interns programme. Over six weeks, I was able to work closely with the team, contribute to projects at the heart of London’s funding landscape, and learn more about the role funders play in strengthening communities across the city. My time at London Funders has been filled with a balance of research, team meetings, and sector-wide events, and I leave with both practical experience and deeper insight into how equity and collaboration can drive meaningful change.

    Mapping Equity and Justice Infrastructure: the UK-wide phase

    Last year, we embarked on a project to map the current state of funding for equity and justice infrastructure. While some efforts have been made to better evidence the scale and funding of more generic forms of infrastructure support, we still lack understanding about the specialist infrastructure sector specifically for equity and justice organisations. This project will improve our understanding of the current funding position of the sector and the needs they are seeking to address.
