About The Festival of Learning

The Festival is an opportunity for London Funders' members to share learning, lead discussions, provide challenge and be inspired by colleagues across the funding community.

Between 3-12 June, we will bring together members for in-person workshops, roundtables, evening panel discussions and drinks receptions as well as online meetings and webinars. And for those who prefer to learn by reading, we’ll be publishing a series of written learning pieces once the Festival kicks off. 

This year’s programme includes over 35  sessions – from deep dives into community wealth building and systems change, to insights on pooled funding, participatory public funding models and much more. So, whatever your role, the Festival is an opportunity to step back and come along to: 

• hear fresh perspectives from peers across the funding spectrum
• explore practical approaches to collaboration, systems change, place-based work and more
• share learning alongside your own team and trustees

Sessions are categorised into eight themes: collaboration, equity, participation, place, process, systemic change, risk, and resilience. 

London Funders' members can sign up to the sessions via the programme page, you can filter events by date, audience engagement, topics and whether they are in-person or online. Tickets are completely free, thanks to your support of our work through your membership fees. 

We encourage members to get involved with the Festival of Learning through your social media channels. You can tag us on @LondonFunders on both Bluesky and LinkedIn, and we're using the hashtag #FestivalofLearning25 throughout the event.
