Voice4Change England is launching a national initiative to better understand the needs of the VCSE sector, and we need your input.

We are inviting organisations, volunteers, and individuals who work with or support Black and Minoritised-led groups to take part in Connecting Strengths, Bridging Gaps: A National Mapping of VCSE Infrastructure Support.

Your insights will help us identify what support is working, where the gaps are, and what funders and policymakers need to prioritise.

There are two ways to get involved:

  1. Complete the national survey (5 minutes)

Share your experience and enter a prize draw for one of seven £50 vouchers. Click the survey link here.

  1. Join a focus group or interview

For those willing to share deeper insights. Participants will receive a shopping voucher as a thank-you. Join a focus group/interview here.

Deadline: Sunday 1 February 2026

All feedback will directly inform a roadmap for sustainable, community-led infrastructure support across England.

Each year, the Sheila McKechnie Foundation celebrates the best campaigns and campaigners. SMK celebrates big ideas, bold action, and the individuals and groups who make our communities fairer, stronger, and more hopeful. If someone has inspired you through their creativity, courage, or impact, this is your chance to champion their work.

Nominations are open until Friday 6 February, midnight.

Submit your nomination here

Instead of posting greetings cards, and in line with our commitment as a responsible business, we will be supporting those in need this Christmas by making a donation to FoodCycle. FoodCycle connects communities by bringing people together to share food and conversation

Go! London—a partnership between the Mayor of London, London Marathon Foundation, Sport England, London Marathon Events and London Sport—has launched two new Open Innovation Challenges.  

The two challenges will help explore how physical activity and sport can help to address some of today’s biggest challenges:

  • Sport for Climate Action: Inviting bold, creative solutions that are harnessing the power of sport and physical activity to build climate awareness in young people, and shift behaviours in response to climate change.
  • Reimagining Sport & Play: Seeking innovations that increase the availability of safe, inclusive, and affordable spaces for sport and physical activity by adapting or reimagining spaces previously not used for this purpose, and those that make existing spaces more welcoming and relevant to engage young people who have been excluded.

We’re looking for ideas that bring different stakeholders together and work directly with young people to create safe, inclusive spaces where they can play and be active.

Apply to the Go! London Open Innovation Challenges for a chance to:

  • Receive up to £100,000 in funding
  • Join a two-month capacity building programme
  • Connect with social innovators across London who are looking to positively impact children and young people in their communities.

Are you eligible?

  • Initiatives must be designed for and delivered in London.
  • The lead applicant or organisation must have a registered legal entity, and should be a non-profit organisation (including schools, universities and local authorities). For-profit organisations can be part of the partnership, but not the lead applicant.
  • Previous and existing Go! London grantees are eligible to apply and/or be part of a partnership that is applying.

Learn more and apply here. Applications close at 5pm on 17 February 2026.

Please help us reach more changemakers by sharing this opportunity with your networks and partners. For any questions, contact golondonchallenges@ashoka.org.

Go! London is a multi-year, £22.5m partnership between the Mayor of London, London Marathon Foundation and Sport England, supported by London Marathon Events and London Sport. The Open Innovation Challenges are being delivered in partnership with Ashoka and Play Verto.

Calling all mums-to-be and mums in Hammersmith & Fulham and the surrounding community – an exciting new mum group has arrived! 

Meet The Mum Club – a nationwide network of local meet ups created to put mums first. From brunches and coffee clubs to walks and fitness classes, every event is designed to help mums connect, feel supported, and enjoy time for themselves. 

Why Mums Need The Mum Club 

Motherhood is rewarding, but it can also feel overwhelming and isolating. Not every mum finds her people in NCT classes, and for many second-time mums or those who have moved to a new area, making new connections can be tough. That’s where The Mum Club comes in. 

“Good mum friends are essential when you have children, but they’re not always easy to find,” explain founders Lauren Webber and Jessica Lawes. “When we had our babies, we’d go to classes where the children were entertained, but we’d leave without making real connections. We created The Mum Club so no mum would ever have to feel that way.” 

Recent research shows that 89% of mums have felt lonely at least once since giving birth – a reality The Mum Club is determined to change. 

What to Expect 

Imagine a group of local like-minded mums chatting over food and coffee, sharing laughs, advice, and stories. Every event is designed to feel welcoming and inclusive – whether you’re a first-time mum or a seasoned pro. Come alone or with little ones; this is your time. 

When’s the Next Event? 

Follow @themumclubhammersmithandfulham on Instagram or email your local hosts, Fran and Liv, at hammersmithandfulham@themumclub.com for details and ticket updates.
