"The Collaboration Circle is providing a neutral space where new and innovative ideas, practices, and culture can thrive, outside the limits of entrenched barriers that may exist within individual organisations." - @MABSnr collaborationcircle.org.uk

We're offering a new space to make our ambition for joint action a reality. Opening out a range of opportunities to do funding differently and more equitably, and overcome some of the long-standing challenges which currently can inhibit collaboration collaborationcircle.org.uk

The racist and Islamophobic violence taking place across the country over the last few days is reprehensible. We stand in solidarity with the people and communities impacted by these violent attacks.

London - and the nation's - diversity is one of our greatest strengths. No one should be made to feel unsafe leaving their home, practising their religion or because of the community they belong to.

We echo Runnymede Trust and other anti-racist and migrant rights organisations’ calls for the Government to have zero tolerance for racist and anti-migrant narratives x.com/RunnymedeTrust…

We know that funders also play a critical role in supporting community organisations during this time, offering flexibility, care and trust. Our work with IVAR on funders' responses to emergencies and terror attacks offers some useful learning funders can draw on to

We also know that at times of crisis, working together – across sectors and across communities – is even more important than ever. We will continue working with our network of funders, civil society organisations and community groups for a just and fairer future.
