*THREAD* We've written a brief overview of the recent launch of the new #LondonsGiving #PeoplePartnershipsPlace report. Attendees engaged in conversations about the role of place-based giving in a crisis.

The #PeoplePartnershipsPlace report shows how vital place was to our lives before this crisis, and how learning from place-based giving schemes can help shape a positive recovery for our communities.
Speakers from across the funding sector (including giving schemes) demonstrated how giving infrastructure stepped in to help local communities rapidly.
@debs_wb: "One of the key things to emerge from this period is a real willingness to give: not just money, but time. It’s important we continue to provide a way for people to channel this desire to contribute."
Examples @UNITEDinHF, @KandCfoundation, @camden_giving & @HaringeyGiving all quickly stepped up to provide much-needed support to local communities during the covid-19 pandemic.
Rachel Engel @Macquarie : "“We support our staff and the issues they are passionate about. Focusing our efforts in London on Islington gives us a greater impact and sense of place – where we can leverage our time and funding” @isgiv
@dhrvptl: "The investment in infrastructure and systems like this has proven to be critical, and I know at @CityBridgeTrust we want to underline our ongoing commitment to this type of approach to building stronger and thriving communities"
The lessons from this publication have taken on a new importance as conversations begin about recovery and renewal – how can we put people and communities at the heart of our approach, and build the partnerships we know will be critical to enabling us to thrive beyond covid-19?
years on, #LondonsGiving is part of a national and global conversation about the importance of place, citizen voice and cross-sector partnership to systems change. Find out more: https://londonsgiving.org.uk/
