Made for us, by us
For two years, we collaborated with seven passionate community members from Lambeth and Southwark to design a funding model that places local voices at the heart of decision-making.
The result? A fund for Peckham and Brixton, where residents decide how nearly £400k will be allocated to address the challenges they understand best.
This fund was co-created with one question in mind:
Who better to shape the solutions than those who experience the community’s realities every day?
The Community Board
The Community Board is a group of 12-15 local residents who will:
Lead the strategy and priorities for the fund.
Act as ambassadors for the initiative.
Make decisions that reflect real community needs and lived experiences.
This is the first time we’re testing this model, and the Community Board will play a pioneering role in shaping how it works.
Selection for the board starts with a letter through your letterbox!
A limited number of households across Peckham and Brixton have been randomly selected by lottery to receive an exclusive invitation to apply.
If you’ve received a letter, you’re one of the chosen ones!
