Our Community Nest team have been hard at work to make sure people in our network have a friendly face at Wild Times 🌿

🚀The Landing Pad is a space where members of different organisations come together to get to know each other and share their own ideas, thoughts and suggestions for our Wild Times gathering.

It's a community space where people can learn from each other and connect ahead of Wild Times.

Take a look at what our Community and Knowledge Lead had to say about it 👇

Stay tuned for more information on our Community Nest 2.0!

How can philanthropy better support communities facing growing division?

🎉Episode 36 of The Social Change Pod is out, hosted by our very own Ana, who was joined by Oli Whittington from Our House, Veda Harrison from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation and Misbah Malik from Hope not Hate.

The episode explores how grassroots organisations are taking on more risk than ever, how long-term unrestricted funding can unlock creativity and lasting systems change, and why communities may be far less divided than the headlines suggest. It’s a thoughtful, hopeful conversation about trust-based philanthropy, the strength of local relationships, and how we can build stronger communities together.

If you would like to be a part of more discussions on movement building, come join us at our Wild Times gathering on the 15th of September in Birmingham 👉 https://hubs.la/Q04s3rhq0
