    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.
