We work collaboratively with organisations and individuals who are working to build a just society. Our funds focus on the arts, education and learning, migration and young people.
‘Without the project, I don’t think I would have had the confidence to cascade to my colleagues and try new things…Now I’m very keen to share how to storytell with others. I love stories, I always use them, and I feel a lot more confident.’
