In October of last year Camden Giving hosted a lunch and learn at Lendlease 1 Triton Square, presenting on who Camden Giving are, how we are trying to reduce inequality and poverty in the borough and how we have partnered with Urban Partners businesses to do this together, with corporate volunteering one piece of the puzzle.

Good philanthropy is never done in isolation, it takes a lot of hands to bring about change. This seems particularly true to us at Camden Giving because of the participatory approach we take.

In collaboration with Urban Partners, Camden Giving are supporting employees to make a difference to local communities by coordinating employees to skilled volunteering opportunities.

The Future Changemaker Fund is made up of contributions from Camden businesses, foundations and individuals.

This is the sort of work developers need to embrace if they are to build trust.

We need to change our understanding of the word ‘volunteering’, it encompasses much more than it is sometimes understood to be.

In this blog Jannah - Chair of the Future Changemakers Fund - shares why, now more than ever, we should put young people at the heart of decision-making.

Camden Giving is based on a notion that everyone has something to give, be that time, skills, money, local insight or money. Every person, business, community group and local employee can get involved in ending the statistic that Camden has the 3rd widest wealth inequality gap in the country.

The last 7 days have been unbelievably difficult for everyone. For those who are unsafe at home, living on little or no income, without homes, with health conditions and older people, this is already an urgent crisis.

“The best way to predict your future is to create it”. I read this the other day and thought, although that may seem obvious, for many individuals in Camden it’s not that simple.
