It’s been five years since 67 funders came together to give out over 3000 grants to support the communities hardest hit by the pandemic, through the London Community Response. Investing over £57m, funders prioritised groups led by and for communities experiencing racial inequity, LGBT+ communities, Deaf and Disabled people, women and girls.The London Community Response showed us that collaboration at pace and scale is possible. It also showed us that when funders and community groups come together to pool their knowledge, funding and experience, we can make lasting change.
