We're especially interested in work with:

  • Meaningful involvement of people with lived experience in the leadership of the organisation, and the delivery of work and campaigns.
  • Organisations whose staff teams and governing boards reflect the diverse range of people affected by economic and social injustice in London.
  • Strong awareness of the interconnected causes of economic and social injustice, and that takes an intersectional approach in addressing them. An intersectional approach means that people with a different range of identities - particularly from multiple marginalised groups - are included in work so that voices are heard.
  • A collaborative approach.
  • Alliances and capacity-building efforts. This might look like work that builds opportunities to work across sectors with ‘unusual suspects’, new allies and creative partners. It may mean work between specialists and non-specialists, for example, the delivery of specialist advice in community settings.
  • A clear plan to campaign for policy change, locally or nationally.
  • Long term impact.

The next set of questions is part of a joint-funder initiative to better understand how some types of projects or organisations experience barriers to accessing funding.  The data collected is in a standard format for different funders.  You can find out more by clicking here.


The main use of the data is to inform our own monitoring and strategy, and improve our transparency. In some cases, we will use the data to check whether your project or organisation meets specific funding criteria - this is detailed in the funding guidance. For example, we only fund Deaf and Disabled People’s organisations (run for and by Deaf and Disabled People) to work on Disability rights.
