The Social Innovation Partnership (TSIP)

Traditional educational funding schemes often overlook home educators, who form a growing and diverse community with distinct needs. Despite their importance, home educators rarely receive tailored financial support to enhance learning, particularly in specialised subjects like religious education. How can we do this better? TSIP explored this question using participatory approaches to funding with Culham St Gabriel's Trust, All Saints, and St Peter's Saltley Trust, to develop more innovative approaches in religious education. As a result, the bespoke Religion and Worldviews Home Educators’ Fund was created and officially launched this Fall. Find out more on our website here https://lnkd.in/egh-4q3w #TSIP #CoDesign #PGM

What difference can long-term core funding make? As the largest network of LGBT+ groups and organisations in the UK, Consortium of LGBT+ Voluntary and Community Organisations helps groups become stronger and more sustainable, so they can provide essential services and advocate for the rights of individuals in the community. Through City Bridge Foundation's innovative Anchor Programme, they're able to receive long-term core-funding to support their work. As the Anchor Programme’s Learning Partner, TSIP works with the funded organisations to harness their collective learning to reach the aims of the programme, and sheds a light on how having access to long-term core funding impacts them.

Thank you to everyone who attended The Giving Lab's event on How we fund community wellbeing initiatives last week! ? Hearing from 4 Giving Lab project leaders and being able to attend 7 different workshops hosted by the Giving Lab community, grantees shared how we can envision a funding landscape that is more equitable and ensures that communities are in the the lead. Five years in the making, we explored what impact has community-led fund The Giving Lab has had on people's wellbeing, and how its funded projects impacted the wellbeing of the wider community. A big shoutout to all of The Giving Lab community members who shared their project stories and hosted inspiring workshops! ??

In Autumn 2018, we embarked on a five-year evaluation of Peabody's work in Thamesmead, together with Arup. Using a mix of qualitative and quantitative approaches, the aim of the evaluation was to test and challenge Peabody’s regeneration objectives for Thamesmead. Supporting them in collaborating holistically with communities and partners to understand and respond to what they need and want from the town, the ultimate goal was to ensure that Thamesmead fulfils its potential. Launched today, their Story of Impact captures the progress they've made over these past 5 years, and we love to see it!
