• A chance to ask questions
• Networking for potential collaborative partners.

We are pleased to announce that we have opened a third round of the Connecting People and Places Fund’s Collaborative Commissions for 2023, co-funded by City of London as part of our Foundations Programme.

Collaborative Commissions aim to give organisations an opportunity to further embed a collaborative approach into their work in order to kickstart and support building long-term change. The fund aims to support projects that will unlock further understanding on how creativity can be used to deliver arts, education, employment programming that provides creative learning opportunities, employment and leadership roles, training and fusion skills development.

We are now inviting Expressions of Interests of up to £15,000 from creative organisations and/or arts/community-led collaborations for the delivery of arts and culture activity that develops creative learning, fusion skills and education activities for children, young people, their families and schools. Proposed activity will be delivered between February and July 2023.

The deadline to apply is 12pm noon on Monday 23 January 2023.

Foundation for Future London is an independent charity established in 2015 created to connect communities, the new East Bank and its globally renowned arts, innovation and cultural partners. We want to ensure East Bank is London’s must-visit destination and becomes a resilient, thriving, world-class neighbourhood of local and global significance.

We’re fundraising to expand grant-making opportunities for East Bank communities and partners and facilitating creative placemaking, to support local places, learning, training and employment through arts, education, culture and innovation.

Our vision is for a vibrant and inclusive creative East Bank, creating authentic engagement with local people of East London in the boroughs of Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.

We are a part of the East Bank partnership, connecting local communities to the new centre of culture, education, innovation and growth being built on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, East London. We are also partners with Culture Mile and its organisations.

Our work is supported by East Bank’s Founding Partner and Official Sponsor, Westfield Stratford City, and City of London.
