Southwark Change-Makers: We’re Looking for a Learning Partner

23rd November 2023

UStSC has teamed up with Active Communities Network (ACN) to run a new kind of grants programme. Normally, decisions around grant allocation are made by our trustees. This time we are shifting this decision-making to a locally embedded charity, and people closest to the issues.

With ‘Southwark Change-Makers’ due to start early 2024, we’re looking for a Learning Partner to work with us for the duration.  They will capture the lessons and measure the impact – working with the team in an iterative way across the two years.
