Creative, Confident Communities: Partner in Place

Onion Collective CIC

To support Creative, Confident Communities, we offer social investment to organisations working to ensure local economies work better for the people who live there.

We developed Partner in Place to offer social investment that is place-led and takes a partnership approach.

Across our funding, we commit to investing into organisations led by communities experiencing racial inequity, as well as building community wealth. We are particularly interested in supporting work that also contributes to our other priorities in Creative, Confident Communities, Our Natural World, and A Fairer Future.

  • Green economy for all: regenerative enterprises working towards a green recovery, clean energy and access to nature in economic development.
