Impact on Urban Health funding
Partisan is thrilled to have been awarded £350,000 in core, 3-year funding from Impact on Urban Health.
This is an vital investment, which will foster organisational resilience, enable us to implement our new strategy and support even more children, young people, and families from marginalised and racialised communities.
“Through our partnership with Impact on Urban Health, we’re able to bring our vision for developing alternative help systems which centre Black and Racialised communities to life. This core funding is crucial in helping us secure our vision, support our staff, and grow our own internal capacity to tackle inequalities in bold and innovative ways. ”
The grant will enable us to refine our business model and develop fundraising and income generation functions, with the ultimate aim of allowing us to continue delivering and strengthening key elements of our work, which include:
Community therapy – partnering with existing services, professionals, and key members of communities to offer highly flexible therapy outside of clinics.
Clinical supervision for mental health frontline workers and the facilitation of reflective spaces for teams—many of which are left holding the mental health needs of the community. Without this service, these mental health professionals would be left without essential support and guidance.
Co-production and re-design of sustainable trauma-informed spaces and interventions with existing services, professionals, community leaders, children, young people, and families.
Dissemination of learning (through workshops, conferences, webinars, and feeding into national policy).
“Partisan has a deep understanding of the fact that marginalised and racialised communities are often experiencing trauma and harm, feeling judged, uncomfortable, and unsure of who they can trust. We’re so excited to be able to support their work which seeks to disrupt oppressive systems, and empower communities in the fight for equity, social justice, and racial justice.”
We’d like to thank the team behind Impact on Urban Health for this generous fund and for backing community-led change.
