Funding Opportunities

Groundswell

Groundswell is undertaking research to understand the impacts of COVID-19 on the lives of people experiencing homelessness. The project aims to understand how COVID-19 and the response to it is affecting the lives of people who are homeless and include the voices of people experiencing homelessness in the national and local decision-making processes.

Impact Hub Bradford

At the heart of Impact Hub Bradford is a platform for social experimentation, our “Civic Collaboratory”; an organisational form that encompasses social processes, collaboration, co-design, formal and informal communication and consensus on principles and values. As both learners and facilitators at the intersection of various key sectors – public, private, voluntary, academic, entrepreneurial, NGOs and academia – the collaboratory is a hub that convenes and creates dialogue across unconnected disciplines.

Jo Chalkblack

As a social-practice artist, Jo Chalkblack initiates processes of authentic connection in every day places (schools, urban green spaces, graveyards, city through-routes). Whilst also using site specific, temporary processes to connect with hinterland spaces (woodland, wild spaces, vacant buildings) to enable individuals and communities to navigate through ‘crossroads of change’ and to mark that transition together. She approaches her work collaboratively; moving away from human-centric ideas of what this means and understanding how dynamics of power, language and history affect people’s choices and ability to engage together in moments change.

Lantana

Lantana is a children’s book publisher and social enterprise that believes in the power of reading to encourage children towards a greater sense of self-worth, self-esteem and belonging. By publishing inclusive books by authors from under-represented groups, their books promote diversity and inclusion, social and racial justice, female empowerment, and empathy.

Lockdown Gardening

During the recent Covid 19 crisis, small community growing groups in Northern Ireland diversified their activities, providing food delivery to the vulnerable and isolated, checking in on neighbours through phone-round schemes, and later on in lockdown encouraging their neighbours to grow at home, so that fresh food is still being provided locally.

May Project Gardens

May Project Gardens is an award-winning CIC, working across South London to address poverty, disempowerment, access to resources and influence. We work with marginalised groups, mostly young people, people of colour and refugees, using what we consider universally connecting tools – nature, food and creative arts – for social change.

POWER

POWER declares that a climate emergency has arrived on every street. As artists and filmmakers working with our home community we are taking a vital leap of the imagination – giving ourselves the power of government to print money and enact a Green New Deal now setting up a solar POWER STATION across the rooftops of Waltham Forest, London.
