Place-based approaches

Place-based working and funding

Place-based approaches work with residents and local organisations to build stronger communities and find solutions to local challenges.

Here we share some broad principles drawn from our own experience and from the wider learning emerging across place-based funding.

Supporting places that have missed out on funding

As a funder, it’s important to us that our grants are distributed equitably across communities. But communities most in need of investment often have the fewest established charities and community groups to make use of different resources.

Here we share what we’ve learned about supporting places that haven’t had their fair share of investment, support and other opportunities.
