We Make Camden Kit Panellist
Once again, we’re on the hunt for Camden citizens to sit on our We Make Camden Kit panel.
Fund Background
The We Make Camden Kit is a partnership between Camden citizens, Camden businesses, Camden Council and Camden Giving. The fund was developed because communities need opportunities and spaces to reconnect, access food support, to have more access to power and leadership, improve the health and sustainability of neighbourhoods, and to have activities to empower and support young people. The We Make Camden Kit provides funding, resources, and skills to support residents and community organisations to bring ideas to life and run activities to make Camden a better place for everyone.
The ‘We Make Camden Kit Fund’ was set up to provides funding and support to Camden citizens and community groups alike who have great ideas for their communities.
Purpose of Role
We are aiming to recruit 10-12 Camden residents who will access training and support to decide how this year’s funds are best spent through Camden Giving’s participatory grant-giving process.
Your role will be to represent and champion the needs and interests of Camden residents in the discussion and assessment of individual grant applications and recommend whether an applicant’s proposal should be granted funding. You should have an understanding and appreciation of the core missions:
Diversity and Representative Leadership
Opportunities for Young People
Access to Food
Estates and Neighbourhoods, Stronger Communities and Eco-friendly Neighbourhoods
We particularly welcome applications from people from communities and groups that are underrepresented in decision making. These are LGBTQ+ people, men, people with disabilities, care leavers, people under 25 and people from the global majority.
