Funding change and shifting systems: lessons from a place-based partnership

How can we as funders create the conditions for lasting systemic change?

This session explores reflections from Cripplegate Foundation’s five-year place-based partnership, which brings people together across sectors—including both lived and learnt experience—to improve outcomes for future survivors of domestic abuse. 

We’ll examine:

  • How funders can work together with diverse partners to drive long-term systems change.
  • Ways to convene, resource, and create space while ensuring equity of voice and power.
  • A participation model where lived and learnt experience shape the work together over time.
  • The challenge of articulating and evaluating work that evolves through collective input.
  • The dynamics of public systems vs. civil society-led change.

Expect candid discussions with partners with lived experience and from statutory, voluntary, research sectors exploring real-world challenges and actionable insights for working in this way.

The Festival is open to all members of London Funders. Unless otherwise specified, we are not able to accept bookings from non-members. If you’re a funder and interested in becoming a London Funders member, please find out more here.
