We are delighted to announce the fantastic £215k investment by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation into our transformative system change work over the next three years!

"This funding marks an unlocking of our capacity, so that we as individuals, an organisation, and a people focused entity...be in, lead and shape spaces that push for change within our societal frameworks. I'm excited about the next three years and the fantastic work our team hope to achieve within these spaces. Sincere thanks to the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation for investing in our vision and aspirations to utilise grassroots knowledge to inform strategic, transformative change!"
