London’s charity sector has received a significant funding boost, with £10 million awarded to organizations working to address societal inequality in the capital. The City Bridge Foundation’s Anchor Programme has confirmed it’s second wave of funding, providing long-term core funding for equity-led infrastructure organizations.

A total of £9,889,028 has been awarded to eight organizations working in areas that include disability rights, racial justice, and supporting migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. 

This latest tranche of funding follows a £14 million award made in 2023.

Paul Martinelli, City Bridge Foundation chair, said:

“The latest round of Anchor funding will provide much-needed support to organizations that are working tirelessly with the charities they support to tackle the inequality that is still all too prevalent in London.”

“Awarding long-term core grants means funded organizations can direct the funding to where it will have the greatest impact and have the time and space to take risks, find out what works, and develop effective, lasting collaborations.”

Grants awarded include:

– £1.4 million to Disability Rights UK to expand it’s capacity to support organizations representing disabled people in London.

– £1.5 million to the AVOCADO Foundation to support it’s work with Black, Asian, multi-ethnic, and refugee-led non-profit organizations tackling economic inequality.

– £1.2 million to Agenda Alliance to support early prevention work with marginalized women and girls.

Kamran Mallick, Disability Rights UK Chief Executive, said:

“We are thrilled to receive this transformative ten-year funding from City Bridge Foundation through its Anchor Programme.”

“This investment will significantly strengthen Disability Rights UK’s capacity to support and champion Disabled People’s Organisations across London, enabling us to address systemic barriers and amplify the voices of Disabled people.”

The funding will enable organizations to drive systemic change, address inequality, and improve the lives of marginalized communities in London.
