Meet the funders

City Bridge Trust has finalised a new strategy for 2018 to 2023 – Bridging Divides.  Bridging Divides is a vision and values led strategy taking a ‘total assets’ approach to achieving this vision, meaning that as well as its £100 million of funding over five years CBT will also ensure the best use of its other non-monetary resources: including the links it has to civil society, other funders and the wider funding ecology, and the expertise of its trustee the CoLC and their links to local, regional and national Government and the private sector.

The Big Lottery has implemented a temporary pause on their Reaching Communities programme whilst a restructure is taking place as well as embedding new ways of working with voluntary and community groups. Reaching Communities will reopen on Monday 2 April, all the changes will be shared at Meet the Funders Session hosted by Hackney CVS on 18 April 10-12pm.
