Join one of three September workshops to share your needs and co-create future infrastructure funding.

Following Hackney Council’s grants redesign last year, the council is taking the next step in evolving how it funds and supports the local voluntary and community sector (VCS) infrastructure.

The council is inviting local VCS organisations to join them at one of their events this September.

These events will reflect on recent learning, share your current needs and help co-design a brand-new VCS Infrastructure support package launching in 2027.

Key discussion topics include:

• Strengthening organisations.
• Networks and forums.
• Volunteering.

The first session will be co-hosted by Badu and Grassroots for Good.

They will share valuable insights from the Black and Global Majority infrastructure programme, exploring how it successfully evolved from a traditional grant model into a strategic partnership supporting Hackney.
