It's been almost a year since I decided to take a different direction, left my job at Museum of London and joined the GLA. This week two really big projects that I have been a part or led on have finally gone live and online and I'm really excited to share them.
First up this 'Map of Community Views': https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/map-of-community-views the result of a series of virtual roundtable conversations and community meetings with groups and community leaders about the disproportionate impacts of COVID-19 on their communities between April and September 2020
Second is this grant programme, London Community Story. It combines some of my old museum style passions with my new ones for supporting community-led changes to policy. https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/funding/community-led-recovery-programme
If you have collected insights in non-trad or creative ways about the impact of COVID-19 (poems, photos, audio, films) please apply for this programme to amplify the voices of those you worked with and change the way policy makers and funders think about 'data' and 'evidence'.
