CAPACITY BUILDING: London Now Now
London Now Now is a groundbreaking initiative that aims to support and empower 30,000 Black-led community impact projects in London by 2030. The programme responds to the unique challenges faced by Black leaders of charities and social enterprises, many of whom work in underserved areas with limited resources and support.
Place-based: For this first stage, we are looking for Black leaders in Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, Greenwich, Hackney, Havering, Lewisham, Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets, and Waltham Forest to help shape London Now Now. Join us in creating programmes that uplift and empower.
Our goal is to rebuild trust between these leaders and grant funders and ensure that Black-led organisations survive and thrive, providing critical services to their communities. Through this programme, we are committed to strengthening local leadership and enabling Black leaders to expand their impact and become community pillars.
