Current Opportunities
What could we do together?
We want everyone to feel included and that they can get involved in making decisions about Barking & Dagenham.
We’re a small team with lots of ideas and energy. We want to hear from anyone else who is invested in the future of the borough. If the opportunities below don’t suit you right now, check back in future or sign up to one of our emails to get alerts about new opportunities.
Current live opportunities include:
Spaces + Places
Community-led local asset investment
After collecting insights from 120+ residents, local groups & organisations over the last few months, we came together to discuss what we’ve learnt about community spaces and how you feel about it.
We have now recruited the first group who will take forward this conversation about how we invest in a community space in Barking & Dagenham.
Give it a Go Fund
Small grants for local people to test out new ideas in the borough
GROW Fund
The UK’s first community-led investment fund
Disruptive Explorers
Disruptive Explorers
The Disruptive Explorers (DE) are a group of local organisations and community groups that want to find new ways to disrupt harmful systems in the borough.
This work is being funded by the Lankelly Chase Foundation, as part of their Place Action Inquiry, and the document also outlines the ways in which we intend to use this funding to promote local change.
