We’re kicking off 2025 with our next Place-based Systems Change Community of Practice on Tuesday 21st January from 12:30-14:00. The discussion will explore how organisations are approaching partnership building as part of their place-based systems change work, particularly focusing on involving people at four levels: policy makers, devolved powers, VSCE infrastructure bodies, grassroots organisations and the community. We’ll share some of our learning from working with organisations, invite others from the community to share their experiences and hold space for you all to share your insights and work through your own questions and challenges in working with local stakeholders. Please register for the upcoming meeting in January here: https://lnkd.in/ey259tt6 Kezia Jackson-Harman Lily OFlynn Beth Stout Jonathan Price Molly Calland #placebased #systemschange #communityofpractice

❄❄❄ It's been a real flurry of activity the last few days at Renaisi, for me that's looked like: 🐻 Developing an inclusive youth leadership model which has emerged from our evaluation of BBC Children in Need's Youth Social Action fund. Thinking through how this might feed into practical support and advice for those working in youth empowerment. 🤝 Getting together with Mission 44's preventing exclusions fund partners to co-create our shared impact framework – seeing where outcomes interconnect and finding new opportunities for collaboration and learning. And during the week of the launch of the excellent Nothing Happens in Isolation campaign. 👩👦👦 Presenting our user experience research recommendations for improving Southwark Council's local offer site. This work will contribute towards families and children with special educational needs and disabilities being better able to access services across Southwark. 🏘 Working with the wonderful Sanctuary team to plan out the legacy of our recent partnership, showcasing the power of housing providers taking an asset-based community development approach, and making the case for place-based evaluation methods that reflect the principles of the programme. 🚌 Working across two programmes at London's Violence Reduction Unit, visiting youth providers and schools across the city to explore the impact of the Stronger Futures programme. Planning a session for VRU staff to share learnings from a programme for young women and girls at risk of exploitation and violence. -- Unrelated photo: my 5-aside team P!tch Please celebrating a glorious 2-1 victory on Tuesday evening.

2.3 million people are living in doubly disadvantaged neighbourhoods across England. As the government’s Plan to Make Work Pay takes centre stage, our research with Centre for Progressive Policy highlights the unique challenges facing these areas – and the realities of good work in some of England’s most economically and socially deprived communities. We’re calling for a shift in the national policy agenda towards place-based interventions that directly address the challenges facing these areas.

Our Place-Based Change Community of Practice is back on Thursday 24th October. Join the conversation! With an estimated £100m of funding suspended from the system as funders announce pauses, and the long-term financial pressures faced by social sector organisations across the UK over the last decade - we need to talk about funding. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/gu83KrZr Our Community of Practice is a collaborative space bringing together place-based practitioners, national and place-based funders, and national charities. Together we explore knotty issues, opportunities for collaboration their work presents, and themes shaped by the group’s evolving discussions. This month we’re exploring the emerging patterns in the funding environment. #place #funding #systemschange
There’s a funding crisis. We’re seeing closures every week, and this isn’t slowing down. We’re seeing funding pauses and a lot of decommissioning of critical services. We were hit by a lot of this earlier this year, and it’s painful to see so much funding being taken out of the system. We need to talk about the fact that funding systemically isn’t the same as decommissioning or not funding essential service delivery. Our Community of Practice is coming together to talk about this on Thursday 24th October. Join us. Renaisi-TSIP Kezia Jackson-Harman Molly Calland Lily OFlynn Jonathan Price

Join our partners The Social Innovation Partnership (TSIP) and The Giving Lab community on Wednesday 16th October to learn about the Lab from the community that shaped it in Southwark. Sign up here and we’ll see you there! https://lnkd.in/eJUchT-W #TSIP #TheGivingLab #CommunityFunding
Five years in the making, what impact has community-led fund The Giving Lab had on people's wellbeing, and how have its funded projects impacted the wellbeing of the wider community? Join us next week on October 16th, as we delve deeper into these questions during an interactive workshop and communal lunch, in honour of the community-led fund and incubator programme The Giving Lab, co-designed with the West-Central Southwark community. Led by the community, this event is an opportunity not only to understand how The Giving Lab has impacted people, but also to learn how to replicate and co-design the TGL funding model. Meet stakeholders and partners in the space, and find out how this participatory grant-making model can replace traditional schemes to help redistribute power and resources, allocating them to the people who need it most. RSVP here: https://lnkd.in/efhkZivg We hope to see you there! #TSIP #TheGivingLab #CommunityFunding #CommunityWellbeing #PGM The Social Investment Consultancy (TSIC)

A morning well spent with London Funders members today. Pacey discussion on how funders can practically improve their contributions to systemic change. We’ve learned a lot at Renaisi-TSIP about what it takes to create sustained change in places, and the role of philanthropy and social investment within that. Our collaborative inquiry into funding place-based systems change called out the precarity those working in this way experience right at the cusp of maturing models that have the potential to sustain transformative change in places - what would it look like for funders to design truly adaptive investment mechanisms for long-term and systemic work? Working with the ebb and flow of emergence not against it. Part two of our inquiry launches 5-years on this year. Watch this space and get in touch to get involved. Thanks for Nasyah Bandoh for the vision, and Tjivejo Pennylope Kapere and Fozia Irfan OBE for sharing their incisive provocations today. #place #systemschange #philanthropy
We've just wrapped up our Big Network Day - bringing together our thematic, member-led networks for a day of learning, connecting and planning for how we can work together to create meaningful change 🙌 We kicked off the day with a powerhouse panel made up of Fozia Irfan OBE & Natsayi Sithole, chaired by our Associate Director for Equity and Justice, Tjivejo Pennylope Kapere before our member-led networks convened for discussions. Here are some of our main learning points from the day: 🔸 Natsayi Sithole highlighted the need to rethink how we distribute resources and support long-term solutions over short-term, "novel" ideas. 🔸 Fozia Irfan OBE talked about using a social justice framework and how we can't create change without first understanding the role colonialism and historic injustices play in upholding the systems of oppression we still see today. 🔶 Real change often comes from grassroots movements, not just institutional charities and funders, we need more courageous, long-term funding approaches. 🔶 The language of 'systems change' is often too complicated and abstract - we need to be specific and we need to build the power of the communities who are driving the change. 🔶 Today was also a reminder of the collective power and resources we have as a movement of funders - we need to keep convening to identify how we use those assets collectively to create change. Also a huge thanks to our network chairs Nezahat Cihan, Oliver Carrington, Gemma Juma, Beth Bryan, Radhika Bynon and Amy Doyle for all your work in bringing funders together across advice, children & young people, housing, health, research, arts & culture 👏 If you're interested in joining one of our thematic, member-led networks, check out the details on our website 👉 https://lnkd.in/ekRMywz5

🤝 We’ve had a busy week at SYJTL! On Monday, we attended an ‘Experts in Dialogue event with Henning von Spreckelsen FREng’. This event was hosted by the Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Hub for members of the Awardee Excellence Alumni Community. It was an insightful discussion about 'how to marry engineering with money'. On Tuesday, our business owner, Ruth B. had the pleasure of working at Leeds Trinity University with Professor Yanguo Jing (PFHEA, FBCS, CMBE)'s team to deliver a briefing session to the MSc Computer Science students. On Wednesday, we contributed to the second of three ‘Theory of Change’ workshops to Revolutionise Work Experience in Bradford. This game-changing collaborative project is being coordinated by the EY Foundation and Renaisi-TSIP. You can download the ‘Work Experience Research Insight Report’, produced by Groundswell Innovation to find out more about the key motivations behind this project: https://lnkd.in/eQDzG3XB In addition, we've continued to support Healthcare and Wellbeing businesses through mentoring on the Thrive programme, delivered by Business Kirklees in partnership with Huddersfield Health Innovation Partnership. We also engaged in volunteering activities to support our local community. Looking forward to the weekend, and we hope you enjoy yours too! ✨ #KnowledgeSharing #Collaboration #Mentoring #SocialImpact #SYJTL
Now is the time for a work experience revolution

Visioning the future! Energising day talking #place, #impact #investment and #participatory #community-led design with our friends at The Social Innovation Partnership (TSIP) and The Social Investment Consultancy (TSIC) last week.
Social entrepreneur | Social impact and impact investing consultant | Equity and inclusion advocate
We had an inspiring, energetic start to the week by having Renaisi-TSIP, The Social Innovation Partnership (TSIP), and The Social Investment Consultancy (TSIC)'s UK team come together for the first time. We spent time to discuss what unites the three organisations, how we feel we can add the most value to the sector, and how we navigate challenges within social impact #consulting (noting that the word carries with it a lot of baggage!) We forged our strategic partnership exactly three months ago, and it's been a rollercoaster summer, but we are all excited by our shared values and visions and the opportunities ahead. It is unprecedented to have three intermediary organisations come together in the UK and let's see what the future holds! Grateful for the team's continuous dedication, hard work, humour and trust along the way - (too many people to tag so please tag yourself or others in comments if they're missing!)
