    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.

    Reports Reloaded: Civil Society Futures - three years on

    To celebrate 25 years, we're looking back at London Funders' archive of reports and think pieces.  What has changed? What remains relevant? How can we build on past lessons and analysis to inform the future of funding?To gain different perspectives on the reports, we’ve been asking several key funders and stakeholders to reflect back to see what learning still applies and how funders can move forward together to tackle key issues facing London ‘post’-pandemic. In this piece, we asked Dame Julia Unwin to reflect on the inquiry she chaired into the future of civil society back in 2018 and share lessons on the good, the bad and the ugly in the years that followed the inquiry.
