We are now recruiting for the Imagine Panel 23/24!

We are looking for up to 8 members to join us in decision-making for our local community fund, The Imagine Fund which is re-opening in December 2023.

The Imagine Fund is a participatory grant-making scheme, focused on shifting power away from large institutions such as the Barbican Centre and back into the hands of the local community. For this fund, community members are the key decision makers. They consult on the selection criteria for the fund, as well as making the call about who gets the funding.

The fund aims to support local people and Unincorporated Associations in the City of London to create projects that will bring people together, kickstart a new idea or have a go at something they’ve always wanted to try.  

If you’re interested in grant-giving, want to make in impact in your local area, and connect with others locally this opportunity is for you!

You don’t have to be an artist or cultural practitioner, but just have a passion for social change. We’ll be doing some really exciting training this year for the panel around conflict resolution, democratic decision making and anti-oppression from a transformative justice approach.
