Panelist Opportunity - Equality Fund 2025

Once again, we’re on the hunt for Camden citizens to sit on our Equality Fund panel!

Fund Background  

The Equality Fund was established to provide unrestricted, accessible funding to organisations tackling the inequalities experienced by residents of Camden. Designed by Camden residents with lived experience of inequality, the fund recognises that those surviving inequality are best placed to identify effective solutions. The Equality Fund narrowed its focus to prioritise organisations supporting people living with disabilities and people from the global majority*—two groups in Camden disproportionately affected by poverty, isolation, and hate.

*The fund uses the term “global majority” to refer to people from racialised and ethnically diverse backgrounds. These groups currently represent approximately 85% of the world's population.

Purpose of Role 

We aim to recruit 10-12 Camden residents to receive training and support to help decide how this year’s funds are allocated through Camden Giving’s participatory grant making process. Your role will be to represent Camden residents, assess grant applications, and recommend funding decisions. We especially encourage applications from underrepresented groups, including LGBTQ+ people, men, people with disabilities, care leavers, those under 25, and people from the global majority.
