    As part of our learning programme on place, Rob Anderson, Research Director at Centre for London, sets out why the capital must reimagine its approach to devolution. With other regions gaining greater powers and flexibility, now is the time for a renewed, ambitious conversation about London’s governance, and funders have a critical role in shaping the capital's future.

    How can a place-based lens help us tackle some of London’s biggest challenges?

    In recent years, it feels like the concept of place has taken centre stage, shaping everything from economic regeneration to social justice initiatives. Beyond just geography, our understanding of place is about the relationships, experiences and systems that interact and bring about change within our communities. Whether it’s about levelling up, devolution, or community wealth, we know that local context – and particularly the infrastructure, social capital and funding within this - are key. Place matters.

    Q&A with Leah Black: creating a long-term fund for change

    Last month, we kicked off our latest learning question on systemic change, spurred on by the conversations from this year’s Festival of Learning which called for more radical solutions to the entrenched problems facing our communities. As part of this, we’re bringing learning together from friends and members to deepen our understanding of what it takes to fund and work in ways that truly drive systemic change. We recently spoke with Leah Black who leads the development of a new, ten-year fund in Edinburgh, Regenerative Futures Fund, about the lessons from working collaboratively to develop a vision and a fund that helps tackle poverty, the climate emergency and racial injustice in the city.
