How can funders support initiatives aimed at improving London’s air quality and health outcomes for its residents?

Chaired by Stewart Goshawk, CEO of the Wembley National Stadium Trust, our next Healthy London Network meeting is happening on Tuesday 31 October. We’re delighted to be joined by London Funders member The Social Innovation Partnership and Imperial College London to hear more about the Breathe London Community Programme (BLCP).

The BLCP is an exciting three year programme which aims to provide sixty fully funded Breathe London Nodes to community groups and organisations across London. The programme is run by the Environmental Research Group at Imperial College London, and is supported by the Social Innovation Partnership, with funding provided by London Funders member Bloomberg Philanthropies.

Join the BLCP team to hear about building the network - including capacity and legacy building with their 60 community organisations - and partnership working with funders and infrastructure organisations. We will also be joined by one of the community groups themselves to delve deeper into community engagement and democratising air pollution knowledge within their community.

There will be time for questions after the presentation, and an opportunity for some horizon scanning and peer troubleshooting at the end of the meeting. Feel free to email any questions on this topic in advance to nasyah.bandoh@londonfunders.org.uk.

The Network is open to any London Funders member interested in ‘health issues’ including social care, physical health, and mental & emotional health and wellbeing.

Member-led networks are a space for members working on or interested in specific areas to meet on a regular basis to exchange knowledge and ideas, find out about other members’ programmes and current activities, hear from our friends in the sector, horizon scan, troubleshoot challenges, and seek opportunities to collaborate. Member-led networks are open to all London Funders members.

If you have any questions or would like to feed into future meetings, please email our Membership Manager at Nasyah.Bandoh@londonfunders.org.uk
