Current Projects
July 2022 – Ongoing
Commissioned by The Greater London Authority (GLA) we have partnered with Sian Penner from Community Collective to provide a programme of support to 31 successful grant applicants. Civil Society Roots 3 is a grant programme for community led organisations impacted by structural inequalities, targeted at 10 London Boroughs: Bromley, Enfield, Harrow, Havering, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Newham, Redbridge, Sutton, Wandsworth. We are running a support programme providing capacity building and networking opportunities to strengthen the roots of ‘community-led’ civil society groups, so that boroughs, regional funders, and other actors can work more effectively in the places identified through an Evidence Review.
Our role is to
- Support successful grantees increase the support systems available to them
- Create spaces for grantees to experiment, explore and connect on how best to address systemic issues and structural inequalities.
- Strengthen and contribute to a healthy equity-led ecosystem. Using evidence, identify areas and support the development of community-led solutions to strengthening communities
We are doing this by
- Organising, planning, and facilitating a series of targeted accessible skills workshops
- Organising, planning, and facilitating borough based and pan London networking events
- One to one support to grantees
- Building up a pool of helpful resources on specific areas
- Supporting an online platform for grantees and our team to share information and good practise with each other
The aim is that by the end of the programme grantees will have developed a long-term work programme and sustainable ways of working, made strong connections and networks within the borough and across communities and be supported in planning for next steps.
